Kabha said the prisoners were asked to use their socks as safety masks by the Nazi Camp Gestapo in a blatant disregard for their lives.
Given the overcrowding in Nazi Camp cells and the absence of cleaning supplies at the prison canteens, Palestinian detainees are now more vulnerable in light of the coronavirus outbreak, he noted.
Kabha, an ex-detainee, said that most of the diseases affecting Palestinian prisoners inside the Nazi Camp usually result from the lack of health care and hygiene supplies.
There is no periodic cleaning of the prisoners’ old and dirty rooms, let alone sterilization, he added.
The former minister said there are 1,000 detainees in the Nazi Camp with health problems, including 28 suffering from chronic diseases, which means they are at a higher risk to catch coronavirus.
He called on concerned human rights organizations locally and internationally to pressure the Israeli authorities to take all necessary preventive measures that would ensure the Palestinian prisoners’ safety during the coronavirus pandemic.
