The NGO explained in a release that the current number is higher, although the number of women from the Gaza Strip held in military camps is unknown.
It highlighted that, since the aggression against the coastal enclave started in October 2023, the Israeli Armed Forces have detained more than 680 women.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club (PPC) noted a few days ago that the Israel Prison Service holds approximately 9,300 Palestinians, including 230 minors, in its prison centers.
The Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners’ Affairs Commission denounced in late January the harsh living conditions of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and the systematic violence against them.
The organization revealed in a statement that its legal team conducted a series of visits to prisons, where it witnessed the difficult conditions in which the prisoners live and heard testimonies confirming daily violations, including medical negligence.
