 The following is the most prominent policies and measures practiced by the occupation authorities in May:
Hunger strike in May/ 2019
Many detainees continued their hunger strike during May, in a protest against their administrative detention, such as: Hasan Ewaiwi who started his strike in April and his health condition deteriorated. However, the occupation authorities refused to end his administrative detention.
The commission documented many punitive measures implemented by the administration of prisons against him, such as isolating him, depriving him of family visits, continuous transfer from one prison to another and transferring him to civil hospitals. The detainee Ewaiwi from Hebron, 35, is married and a father of three kids. He was arrested many times before, the last of which was in January 15, 2019.
Moreover, the detainee Bassam Abu Aker from Aydah camp/ Bethlehem entered a hunger strike in May, 21 protesting against his two years of administrative detention. He ended his strike after having an agreement to determine the period of his administrative detention.

Detainees who entered hunger strike in May are Ahmad Hroub from Hebron, Thaer Bader from Bait Liqya, Mu'taz Ubaido from Hebron and Murad Malaysheh from Jenin.
Medical negligence
There are (750) detainees who still suffer from medical negligence by the administration of occupation prisons, where it is a policy that is practiced against them in a systematic way as a means of revenge.
The occupation authorities use the policy of medical negligence as a means of torture and pressure against detainees, aiming at obtaining confessions or breaking their will and increasing their suffering. For example, the clinics of prisons lack medical staff and devices to make necessary examinations.  All health problems are dealt with using painkillers.
In case of health deterioration of the detainee he will be transferred to the clinic of Ramlah prison, where there many incurable cases of detainees suffering severe deterioration in their health status. Currently, there are 15 detainees held at the Ramlah prison clinic in inhuman conditions.
Detainees' institutions continuously document many cases of racist treatment against detainees in Israeli hospitals, in addition to handcuffing the detainee during his stay in hospital.
The occupation authorities deliberately procrastinate in providing the appropriate therapy for sick detainees and in the necessary tests to diagnose the condition of the patient, which leads to the aggravation of the disease.
The summer and detainees' suffer in Israeli jails
The Israeli authorities seek to make the detainees live in pain and suffering even in climatic fluctuations. With the high temperature and humidity in Israeli prisons and detention centers, the detainees' suffering increase especially in the desert and near- coast prisons that are full of insects and bad smell. Detainees are deprived of obtaining fans and air conditioners, where the administration of prison deliberately cut off cold water in the isolation cells.
According to testimonies, complaints by detainees increase regarding the high temperature in desert- prisons such as "Beersheba", "Nafaha", "Remon" and "Negev", old prisons such as "Damoun", isolation prisons such as "Nitzan" and prisons of high humidity such as "Shatta" and "Jelboua".
