Palestinian female prisoners locked up in Israeli occupation jail of HaSharon issued distress signals over the dire detention circumstances they have been subjected to with the advent of a frosty storm. 

A report issued by the Prisoners Society said Palestinian female detainees are held in cells not supplied with proper heating infrastructure and whose windows are not well sealed.

The report further documented acute shortages in blankets and warm garments in the cold prison cells, exacerbating a situation already hit by a frosty storm rocking the occupied Palestinian territories. 

One of the female prisoner patients, Amal Taqatqa, who was arrested last month after being severely injured by the Israeli occupation forces, was transferred to the HaSharon jail without completing her medical check-ups. 

The Israeli prison service has been paying no heed to Amal’s exacerbated health status. The prisoner has reportedly been bound to a wheel chair ever since.

Bushara al-Tawil’s health status has been no better as the latter suffers from severe backaches and foot pains due to medical negligence at the Israeli occupation jail. The situation has gone from bad to worse due to the sub-zero temperatures rocking the region.

There are currently 22 Palestinian female prisoners in HaSharon prison, including four minors ranging between the ages of 14 and 17.
