Palestinian organizations specializing in prisoner affairs have reported the martyrdom of two Palestinian prisoners from Gaza, who reportedly died as a result of severe torture in Israeli "detention" facilities.

According to the Palestinian Prisoners and Released Prisoners Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners Club, Islam Al-Sarsawi, 42, from Shujaiyya District (Gaza), was among those who died under harsh conditions.

Al-Sarsawi was detained during a recent raid on Al-Shifa Hospital and was reportedly tortured at the Sde Teiman concentration camp. The exact details of his death, which is said to have occurred four months ago, were only confirmed today. 

The Gaza Ministry of Prisoners and Released Prisoners also confirmed the death of Omar Abdel Aziz Jneid, 26, from Jabalia (Gaza). Jneid died on June 17 while in Israeli custody after being subjected to severe interrogation and torture.

The Prisoners and Released Prisoners Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners Club have called for immediate international intervention to halt forced disappearances and unprecedented levels of torture in Israeli prisons.

They demand a thorough and independent international investigation into these abuses and call for accountability for the Israeli authorities involved.

They further called for the formation of a comprehensive UN investigation committee to address these crimes and ensure that the systematic abuses faced by Palestinian prisoners are brought to light, and stressed the critical need for international pressure to address the ongoing suffering and prevent further violations of human rights.
