rampaged across the West Bank and Gaza this week. One of the detainees RT managed to reach said 25 of his fellow inmates had cancer and were being denied treatment.
The prisoner, whose anonymity is preserved for security reasons, believes medical assistance in the Israeli jails is withheld on purpose, “to
break the will of the detainees.” Speaking to RT, he described the negligence sick Palestinian detainees are faced with.
“We suffer from an incredibly low standard of medical assistance. Among those detained here, there are at least 25 people who suffer from cancer - and they’re not getting the treatment they need. They are only given pain
killers,” he said, adding that the prison hospital is “like a jail, like the ones in fascist Germany during the
Holocaust. It only has a small infirmary, if you get placed there for 15 hours - you leave with sick kidneys or liver, or any other kind of disease.”
