Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported on Thursday, citing accounts of released Palestinian detainees, that the Israeli regime "exposed prisoners to low temperatures as a means of coercing them to make false confessions" by placing them in iron caravans with refrigerators set at - 20 degrees.

The correspondent added that the families of prisoners "know nothing about their sons who were arrested by the IOF in the northern parts of the Gaza Strip."

Reporting on the state of Gaza's healthcare system, the correspondent stated that doctors are resorting to amputations on the injured "due to the lack of essential medications to treat the wounded, and each incubator has to accommodate three or four newborns, increasing the risk of danger."

The World Health Organization pointed out that "conditions in hospitals in the Gaza Strip are deteriorating rapidly due to a shortage of staff and supplies."

Our correspondent added: "Only 15 to 20 wounded individuals leave the Rafah crossing daily, despite that thousands require treatment abroad, and UNRWA centers no longer provide any medical supplies or medications to the citizens."

"Most people come to hospitals to charge their phones and batteries for nighttime lighting," he said.

'Israel' poisons Palestinian prisoners with spoiled meals

Last month, the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs reported on cases of mass poisoning among Palestinian prisoners in "Ofer" Prison after being served spoiled meals.

The Commission's lawyer, who visited the prison after painstaking efforts, stated that Palestinian prisoners suffered from poisoning on December 28, 2023. Immediately after consuming their meals, they experienced severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting, as per the lawyer.

The Commission further stated that since the commencement of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, the prison administration has intentionally imposed "the harshest punishments" on Palestinian prisoners.
