At least 98 Palestinian prisoners died in Israeli custody: Report

At least 98 Palestinian prisoners have died in Israeli detention since October 2023, with the actual number likely being much higher, according to Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI). The causes of death reportedly range from physical violence and torture to medical neglect and malnutrition. Most of the deceased were civilians from the Gaza Strip, and the report highlights that abuse and torture have been systematic and rampant in detention facilities. Despite the high number of fatalities, no legal proceedings or accountability measures have been taken by Israeli authorities. PHRI warns that the full picture is still unknown as many Palestinians from Gaza remain unaccounted for.
