A new report from Physicians for Human Rights-Israel reveals that nearly 100 Palestinians have died in Israeli custody since the start of the war in Gaza, a sharp increase compared to previous years. The findings, supported by Associated Press investigations, point to systematic violence, denial of medical care, and harsh conditions in prisons and detention centers as contributing factors. Interviews with former guards, medical staff, detainees, and families describe routine shackling, beatings, and neglect, with some prisoners suffering severe injuries from restraints. Autopsy reports reviewed by doctors and families show patterns of physical abuse and medical neglect, while lawyers and rights groups argue that investigations into these deaths are rare and accountability is limited. The surge in deaths coincides with a dramatic rise in the Palestinian prison population, as thousands have been detained since the war began, mainly from Gaza and the West Bank.
