This is the abuse Palestinian children are facing in Israel’s notorious prisons and jails. Since October 2023, Israel has rounded up thousands of Palestinians, including children, from the occupied West Bank and Gaza – with at least 320 children still in detention. Surveys show that Palestinian children face routine abuse including torture, strip searches and denial of food. Since October 2023, some have reported denial of medical care and sexual abuse. Under the proposed ceasefire deal, Israel has agreed to release about 2,000 of the over 10,000 Palestinians in its prisons. They include 95 to be released on the first day, of whom at least 10 are children.
