DaysofPal—The number of Palestinians being held in Israeli prisons has hit its highest number in a quarter of a century.
Rights groups said that there are 10,800 Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli jails. At least 50 are women, and more than 450 are children. More than 3,600 are held without charge or trial. Their detention can be extended indefinitely.
These figures don’t include all detainees arrested from Gaza and held in the Israeli army’s military camps.
At least 73 Palestinians have died in prisons and military detention facilities since October 2023. Rights groups accuse Israeli forces of abuse, torture, and medical negligence.
Torture has been a central cause of the deaths of dozens of prisoners and detainees in Israeli prisons and camps since the beginning of the ongoing genocide.
