In a regular display of solidarity with Palestinians imprisoned by Israel, a sit-in was held at the office of the Red Cross in Gaza City on Monday.
Over 200 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons since 1967.
The suffering of the prisoners has intensified during the coronavirus pandemic.
On Thursday, Israel’s Supreme Court ruled that Palestinians held in Israeli jails have no right to social distancing protection against COVID-19.
During a press conference outside the Red Cross office, the Islamic Jihad’s Muhjat al-Quds Foundation for Prisoners accused the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) of endangering the lives of the prisoners.
Palestinian prisoners are subjected to degrading conditions, including administrative detention, solitary confinement, and bans on family visits.
Currently some 5,000 Palestinian political prisoners are reportedly being held in 24 Israeli prisons and detention centers.
