The Israeli occupation forces are deliberately removing the clothes of detained Palestinian women in front of the other detainees as they seek to completely humiliate them.

Palestinians, including doctors, elderly, women, children, and patients, who were detained by the Israeli occupation forces in Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, have sent an emotional letter to the Red Cross, Human Rights Organization, Doctors Without Borders, and everyone else in the Arab, Islamic and International world with a good conscience who care about these groups of people and human life in general.

On the occasion of Palestinian Prisoners' Day, which takes place on April 17 of every year, ex-detainee Ahmad Abu Aql delivered this letter on behalf of all detainees who are being systematically tortured in severe and various ways by the Israeli occupation forces. 

الأسيرالفلسطيني المفرج عنه أحمد أبوعقل ينقل رسالة مؤلمة من أسرى #مجمع_ناصر_الطبي المعتقلين في سجون الإحتلال منذ 64 يوماً، من أطباء ونساء وأطفال ومرضى وكبار السن، مؤكداً تعرضهم وبشكل متواصل إلى أشد وشتى صنوف التعذيب الممنهج.#الميادين #فلسطين_المحتلة pic.twitter.com/oluglQ4YKU

According to the letter, the IOF is detaining Palestinians in cells, including between 100 to 120 detainees each, surrounded by barbed wire. It stressed that these detainees were being tortured and interrogated daily, describing the latter as "slaughterhouses" and "Gaza's Guantanamo." 

As an example of what all detainees are going through, the letter mentioned the case of the Director of the Surgery Department, Dr. Nahed Abu Taima, at Nasser Medical Complex highlighting that his situation is tragic as he is grappling with severe conditions that require treatment and a checkup from the Red Cross urging for his immediate release.

In another example of Israeli torture, one of the IOF troops plucked the beard of a Palestinian detainee using pincers, one of many others being subjected to the same thing.

Many severely wounded detainees are being deprived of medical attention as each injured person only gets a single piece of cotton per day to manage the bleeding wound, the letter said. 

The detainees are also being deprived of adequate meals as the IOF pretends that it is giving them these meals while filming but then throws them away afterward, it added. 

According to the letter, Palestinian detainees have been shackled and blindfolded for 64 days as they have to raise their hands up daily and barely get 3-4 hours of sleep.

The IOF are also deliberately removing the clothes of detained Palestinian women in front of the other detainees, it emphasized. 

Not only Palestinians

The letter clarified that the IOF had no excuse for detaining them from Nasser Medical except other than them being doctors or elderly as it was attempting to pressure the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. 

The ex-detainee addressed Arabs by saying that today it is "our turn" but tomorrow "is yours", which is what an Israeli occupation officer said during the investigation if they do not take action in support of Gaza.
