The Commission of Detainees' Affairs pointed out, in a statement narrated by the lawyer Fadi Obaidat, that three detainees at Naqab prison are facing difficult health conditions due to the policy of medical ignorance.

A case in point is the detainee Hussam Deek (36 years) from Kufr Aldeek, who was arrested in 2/2/2021. He suffers from intense infections in the colon and intestines, since his detention.

The Commission confirmed that Israel continued in faking promises, where it was scheduled to conduct medical checkups for him but in vain.

Another case in point is the detainee Adel Srouji (29 years) from Tulkarem, who was arrested in 9/2/2020, and sentenced to 4 years. He had a surgery to remove benign tumour in his stomach. However, the administration of prisons did not inform him about the nature of his disease and still refuse to give him the examination result.

The Commission stated that the detainee is afraid of undergoing another surgery because last time they forced him to sign unknown papers. Now he suffers from severe pain in his stomach and can't eat normally.

The Commission pointed out that the detainee Raed Ratrout (37 years) from Nablus, Who was arrested in 2008 and sentenced to 27 years. He is suffering from toothache, where his teeth fall due to infections in the gum. The administration of prisons did not treat him as it should, instead, they removed the majority of his teeth, which caused him intense pain.

The Commission of Detainees' Affairs holds the Israeli authorities full responsibility on continuing the deliberate policy of medical ignorance against Palestinian detainees, and calls on international community institutions, human rights organisations and the international committee of the Red Cross to fulfil their obligations towards detainees, especially the sick ones.
