Hamas has called on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to document human rights violations against Palestinians being held in Israeli prisons, especially female detainees, Anadolu Agency reports.

In a statement, Hamas urged the ICRC and rights groups “to fulfill their obligations in addressing the brutalities and deprivations of the rights of female Palestinian prisoners within Zionist occupation prisons.”

The statement noted that “Palestinian women prisoners are encountering systematic and arbitrary malnutrition and neglect of their medical needs.”

On Saturday, the Palestinian Prisoner Society NGO said female detainees in Damon Prison are experiencing torture and harsh conditions.
