The Palestinian Prisoners' Club revealed on Saturday the number of Palestinians detained at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces since the start of 2022 in a report published on its Facebook page on the occasion of Human Rights Day.

According to the Palestinian organization, the Israeli occupation has detained around 6,500 Palestinians since the onset of the year, including hundreds of women and children.

The occupation, according to the PPC, arrested 153 women and 811 children. Though some of the detained were released, "Tel Aviv" issued 2134 administrative detention orders against Palestinian prisoners during the same period.

There are currently 4,700 Palestinian prisoners in confinement between 23 Israeli prisons, detention centers, and pending investigation, including 34 female prisoners, 150 children, and 835 administrative detainees.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Club revealed last month that the Israeli occupation forces have detained more than 9,300 Palestinian youth under the age of 18 since 2015.

The Prisoners' Club stated that "the Israeli occupation has detained about 750 children since the beginning of this year 2022, and 160 of them are still in detention," noting that there were wounded among the detainees who were shot before and/or during raids or arrest campaigns.

The statement further argued that among the detained youths are 3 girls and 5 children under administrative detention; meaning they have not been charged nor have they received any court rulings.

The detained youths are subjected to all forms of systematically abusive policies, including torture and harsh detention conditions, the PPC revealed.

A few months earlier, the PPC said there were some 600 Palestinian prisoners suffering from diseases in the Israeli occupation's prisons.

The head of the Studies and Documentation department in the Commission of Detainees and ex-Detainees' Affairs, Abdel Nasser Farwana underlined that the prisoners are going through tragic circumstances, brutal treatment, agonizing torture, and criminality committed by the Israeli occupation against Palestinians imprisoned in Israeli prisons.

"There are many of these prisoners suffering from serious diseases such as cancer, and they are suffering from critical health conditions in light of deliberate medical neglect waged by the occupation's authorities," Farwana said.

Prisoner Nasser Abu Hmeid is "dying in prison, and some prisoners are suffering from physical, psychological, and sensory disabilities," he said, warning that all Palestinian prisoners were being held in inhumane conditions without receiving proper medical care and subjected to medical neglect.

"This issue is exacerbating their suffering and worsening their health condition, and it could lead to the martyrdom of some of them as happened with some before," Farwana noted.
