"Hundreds of testimonies from prisoners reveal shocking and horrific accounts of what has occurred and is ongoing against both male and female prisoners,” said the commission, basing its statement on recent visits made by lawyers to the prisoners.

Hadeel Hassanein, the sister of imprisoned journalist Rula Hassanein, said her unwell sister was suffering complications due to the denial of medical treatment in prison.

"She suffers from severe headaches and persistent high blood pressure,” Hadeel told Middle East Eye. “Recently, she underwent tests at the prison clinic, but no treatment was provided, despite the results indicating blood in her urethra, which could lead to kidney failure if treatment is not provided.”

Among the most prominent violations faced by female prisoners is strip searches. Under the guise of security procedures, female prisoners are forced to remove all clothing, including underwear, while also enduring verbal abuse and ill-treatment. Another common practice of Israeli prisoner authorities is depriving detainees of sufficient food.
