The number of #Palestinians in Israeli custody has doubled since October 7, reaching 10,000 detainees and #prisoners. According to reports arriving from Israeli prisons and testimonies from recently released detainees, the Israel Prison Service is abusing Palestinians.

Since the ceasefire, Israel has rejected or ignored over 90% of requests for exit permits from Gazan patients seeking urgent medical care including cancer patients. Only 13 out of 191 were approved. Today we petitioned the Supreme Court to immediately overturn this policy.

The Israeli military refuses to allow Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, to meet with a lawyer to evaluate his state and detention conditions. Despite our urgent requests to send an attorney, the military says he's barred from lawyer visits until 10.01.2025.

The position paper we published today surveys the #sexual and gender-based #violence committed during the October 7 #Hamas attacks. It aims to highlight the rehabilitation needs of survivors and witnesses of the violence - and urge an investigation of crimes against humanity.

Dr. Ahmad Mahajna, a dedicated and valued cardiothoracic resident at Hadassah Hospital, recently became the victim of a racist, nationalist, and populist witch hunt. According to our inquiries, it all began with a naive gesture. >>

A boy (10) & woman (37) died this week after #Israel delayed their exit permits from #Gaza for cancer treatment. Both patients could only leave after we petitioned on their behalf, but it was already too late.

Abuses include disconnecting the power and water supply, confiscating possessions, restricting prisoners to their cells, preventing access to medical clinics, and severe physical violence. The IPS is also restricting visits by legal representatives and other officials.
