Health of prisoner Jamal Amr worsens amid medical neglect

Sunday 3-January-2021

The Palestinian Commission of Detainees’ and Ex-Detainees’ Affairs has accused anew the Israeli prison service (IPS) of persisting in medically neglecting Palestinian prisoner Jamal Amr from al-Khalil city who suffers from multiple health problems.

According to the Commission prisoner Amr 48 suffers from serious health problems in his liver kidneys and bowel.

Amr suspended his hunger strike recently after receiving Israeli pledges to provide him with appropriate treatment but the IPS still ignores his health suffering and his need for medical examinations.

The prisoner has been in Israeli jails since 2004 serving a life sentence.
