Dozens of Palestinians gathered on Monday outside the headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza City to express solidarity with Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons and to protest conditions inside detention facilities.
According to Anadolu Agency, the rally was organized by the Prisoners’ Committee of the National and Islamic Forces and was attended by former prisoners, representatives of Palestinian factions, activists, and relatives of detainees.
Participants carried photographs of prisoners and banners calling on the international community to intervene and address conditions inside Israeli prisons.
Demonstrators also raised Palestinian flags and chanted slogans calling for the release of prisoners. Participants stressed that the prisoners’ issue remains a central concern despite the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
Former prisoner Abdel-Moati Abdel-Rabbu told Anadolu Agency that Palestinians continue to hold weekly solidarity gatherings every Monday outside the Red Cross headquarters in support of prisoners.
According to Abdel-Rabbu, prisoners are facing what he described as an unprecedented campaign inside Israeli prisons. He said that female prisoners are subjected to “humiliating strip searches,” sleep deprivation, and restrictions affecting food and medical care.
Abdel-Rabbu stated that “every prisoner, male and female, has a heartbreaking story of suffering.”
