The PA Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs has warned that the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) is persisting in its “torture policy” against both “male and female detainees, which has turned their lives into a living hell”.

In a statement, the organization said that Palestinian detainees are isolated from the outside world, with no access to radio or other media services, while the IPS is imposing hefty fines on them, Al Jazeera reported. 

“I heard the sound of detainees who are getting tortured and beaten, as they are being cursed on by soldiers,” said a testimony by one of the prisoners at Nafha prison who was visited by a lawyer.

The commission said that in Nafha prison, 100km (62 miles) from Beersheba, detainees do not have clothes or personal belongings, and “they have long hair and beards because the IPS confiscated razors on October 7.”

“Each detainee has one mattress and cover, and they suffer from poor quality and quantity of food. There is a power cut for long hours, and water usage is allowed for only two hours a day,” the organization added.
