The Palestinian Prisoners and Ex-prisoners Affairs Commission has warned of the deterioration of the health condition of some captives, especially Al-Qawasmeh, Al-Fasfous and Al-Araj and called on the international community to pressure the occupation to release them.
Around 5000 Palestinian captives are held in the Israeli jails within very harsh conditions. 550 of these prisoners are ill and they need urgent medical treatment.
