Child ex-detainee says prisoners suffer neglect in Ramla hospital

Wednesday 1-February-2017

15-year-old child Osama Zaidat who was recently released from an Israeli jail has said that the detainees in Ramla hospital suffer from tragic health conditions and deliberate medical neglect.

This came during a visit paid to him in Palestine hospital by head of the Palestinian commission for detainees’ affairs Issa Qaraqie.

Zaidat also handed Qaraqie a letter from 17-year-old Jalal Sharawneh describing the medical conditions of detainees and his difficult health status in the Israeli hospital.

The Israeli occupation authority released Zaidat from Bani Na’im town in al-Khalil on Monday and later he was transferred to Palestine hospital in Ramallah to pursue his medical treatment.

He was arrested on September 23 2016 after he was shot by an Israeli soldier.

A few days ago an Israeli court issued a verdict ordering the release of Zaidat on bail amounting to 25000 shekels.
