At least 110 Palestinian prisoners are being held in overcrowded cells at the Etzion detention centre in the southern occupied West Bank. The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs pointed out that food was insufficient and of poor quality, in addition to the medical negligence of sick prisoners and a significant shortage of clothes. Prisoners have had to alternate sleeping times due to the lack of beds. Tighter security measures and continuous attempts at provocation and extortion were carried out by soldiers against the prisoners, it reported.
