RAMALLAH, August 23, 2011 (WAFA) – Palestinian Prisoners detained at Harawa Detention center suffer from difficult health and living conditions, which lack all basic necessities as guaranteed by international law and regulations, Tuesday said the Palestinian Prisoners' Club (PPC).
One of the prisoners detained at Howara told PPC lawyer that he suffers from a severe exhaustion; he is unable to continue to eat from food they are given at prison and that he has not eaten anything other than eggs, yogurt, in addition to dry and not fully cooked rice during the whole period of his detention.
He added that those kind of meals are given to prisoners after fasting all day, as for liquids and drinks they are missing; the only source of water is from a sink tap near bathrooms inside prisoners' rooms, where the water is hot, thus only few prisoners drink water.
Prisoners said that they had repeatedly demanded the prison’s administration to improve the health status in prison, since it is intolerable, urging human rights and medical organizations, particularly the International Red Cross to stand by their side.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
