A new report by Physicians for Human Rights-Israel reveals that nearly 100 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since the start of the Gaza war, a sharp increase compared to previous years. The report, supported by interviews and autopsy records, points to systematic violence, harsh detention conditions, and denial of medical care as major factors behind the deaths. Former prison staff and detainees described routine beatings, prolonged shackling, and severe neglect, with some prisoners suffering from malnutrition and untreated injuries. Despite some official claims of accountability, rights groups argue that investigations into abuse are rare and conditions remain dire for Palestinian prisoners.
