RAMALLAH, February 16, 2011 (WAFA) – Palestinian Prisoners at the Israeli Negev prison, south of Israel, Wednesday suffered from sandstorms and bad weather affecting prisoners suffering from asthma and allergies.

Most of the prisoners are kept in tents at the Neqev prison. There are nine sections of tents in addition to rooms in the prison. Most of these tents are prone to be torn because of the sandstorms.

Prisoners told the Prisoners Center for Studies that the sand has covered their belongings, and warned that the conditions of prisoners suffering from asthma, allergies and other breathing difficulties could get worse.
