RAMALLAH, Saturday, November 28, 2020 (WAFA) – Three Palestinian prisoners in Israel are suffering from cancer and their health situation is deteriorating, today said Qadri Abu Bakr, head of the Palestinian Commission of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners Affairs.

He told Voice of Palestine radio that Nidal Abu Ahour, Imad Abu Ramouz and Omar Orabi have all been diagnosed with cancer, blaming what he described as medical negligence in the prisons for the deterioration in their health.

Abu Ahour is the most serious among the three with kidney cancer, said Abu Bakr, expressing concern for the life of the three cancer patients and other ill prisoners, particularly with the arrival of the winter season and the spread of coronavirus in the prisons.
