The Gaza Media Office announced on Thursday that at least 36 prisoners from the Gaza Strip, kidnaped by the Israeli military since October 7, have died due to torture and harsh conditions in Israeli prisons.

The report also states that an additional 54 detainees from various Palestinian regions have died under similar conditions.

The Office accused Israel of committing ongoing crimes against humanity, including enforced disappearances, and described Israeli prisons as "mass graves for thousands of Palestinian prisoners, ignored by international institutions."

Based on testimonies from recently released detainees, the statement detailed numerous forms of torture and inhumane treatment. These include forced stripping, prolonged binding and blindfolding, electrocution, systematic starvation, and cutting the body with sharp tools. Other reported abuses include deprivation of sleep, bathing, and medical care, as well as dog attacks and exposure to extreme cold.

Since the beginning of Israeli ground operations in Gaza on October 27, Israel has detained thousands of Palestinians, including women, children, and members of health and civil defense teams. While a small number of detainees have been released, the fate of the majority remains unknown, with no official statistics available.

The ongoing Israeli genocidal aggression has resulted in more than 37,400 Palestinian deaths, mostly women and children, and over 85,600 injuries, according to local health authorities. The war has left vast tracts of Gaza in ruins, exacerbated by a crippling blockade on food, clean water, and medicine.

Israel has faced international condemnation and is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. The court recently ordered Tel Aviv to halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over one million Palestinians had sought refuge before it was invaded on May 6.

Despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, the genocide continues, drawing widespread international criticism. (ILKHA)
