Face-disfigured Palestinian woman faces medical neglect in Israel jail

Thursday 28-June-2018

Palestinian prisoner Israa Jaabis aged 32 has sounded the alarm over the systematic medical negligence she has been made to endure in the Israeli HaSharon dungeon.

A lawyer from the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society quoted the detainee following a prison visit as stating that she urgently needs to undergo cosmetic surgeries in her hands ears face and teeth to fix severe deformity.

The detainee also needs a burn-soothing suit and drugs to alleviate her pains.

Prisoner Jaabis from Occupied Jerusalem and the mother of a child was kidnapped by Israeli forces on October 10 2015 after they opened fire at her car blowing it up. As a result she sustained severe burns that led to disfigurements all over her body. She also had her fingers amputated.

Jaabis is serving an 11-year-sentence in Israeli occupation jails.
