🚨80% of Palestinian Prisoners in Israeli Prisons Infected With Scabies, Amid Widespread Torture, Starvation and Violent Raids The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) reported Sunday that approximately 80% of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, including women and children, are infected with scabies, with authorities denying adequate treatment, clothing and hygiene facilities. Based on lawyers’ visits throughout October and early November, PPS documented: ▪️ Violent raids every two to three days in some prison sections, with prisoners subjected to severe beatings, attacks by police dogs, rubber-coated bullets and gas. ▪️ Broken teeth and ribs, severed hand tendons, burns and extensive bruising, with injured prisoners denied necessary surgeries and medical care. ▪️ Systematic food deprivation, with prisoners receiving severely inadequate quantities and quality of food. ▪️ Severe overcrowding, forcing prisoners to sleep on floors while guards confiscate mattresses during the day. ▪️ Women prisoners at Damon Prison suffering painful skin infections, severe itching, sleep deprivation and inadequate healthcare. Israeli prison authorities reportedly dismiss confirmed scabies infections as allergies. ▪️ October 28 raid at Naqab Prison: Israeli forces fired rubber-coated bullets and sprayed gas at prisoners, injuring three and severely beating others. Separately, Palestinian rights organization Al-Dameer warned that prisoners at Naqab Prison are being denied winter clothing despite falling temperatures, with scabies causing painful boils, blisters and skin sores. More than 9,300 Palestinians, including approximately 90 women, are currently imprisoned by Israel, according to PPS. The organization described the abuses as a systematic campaign of torture, starvation and medical neglect intended to destroy Palestinian prisoners physically and psychologically.

With words filled with anguish and pain, a father carries his martyred little daughter in his arms, saying his final goodbye after the sand collapse claimed his wife and children, leaving him alone with an unbearable loss.💔

Displaced Palestinians in Gaza are facing worsening conditions as heavy rain floods their tents, while unstable sand cliffs threaten to collapse and put lives at risk. Families already struggling to find shelter are increasingly exposed to the dangers of winter weather.

Tragic.. 5 Palestinians killed, including 3 children, and 6 others critically injured after a sand dune collapsed on two families in the Hawoz al-Baraka camp south of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.

Palestinian farmer Abdul Khaliq Kattaneh and his son Nasser, residents of An-Nazla ash-Sharqiya, north of Tulkarm, recount an attack in which an Israeli settler brought his cattle onto their agricultural land, damaging crops and greenhouses that serve as their primary source of livelihood. The presence of a nearby settlement outpost has heightened their concerns over the continued vulnerability of their farmland and economy.

I hope you are all sleeping safely in your homes, surrounded by your families. I hope every child has warm clothes and every parent can provide the care their children need. I hope your children have umbrellas, raincoats, and rain boots for school. I hope your cities are prepared to respond to winter emergencies. Of course, sharing this news will change nothing for our families in Gaza, just as the warnings issued days ago changed nothing. Tonight, at 8:30 p.m., as families slept on the ground inside their tents, a massive landslide of soil and rocks buried at least two families in Deir al-Balah. The victims have been identified as: Habiba Hossam al-Zain, 4 years old Reem Hossam al-Zain Ibrahim Hossam al-Zain Salah Nabhan, 7 years old Mariam Nabhan The mothers of these five children remain in critical condition. The father of the first three children had already been killed by Israel. I hope everyone has heat in their homes.

In his first remarks following his release from Israeli detention, Palestinian Journalist Abed Abou Shhadeh denounces his detention as political persecution aimed at intimidation and silencing dissent. “We must not be afraid. Our success lies in our steadfastness. We have endured difficult times, but we will continue our struggle for justice,” he declares.

Israel’s president had asked opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot to form the next government over his rival Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh explains how opposition to Netanyahu brought different political parties together.
