RAMALLAH, Sunday, December 27, 2020 (WAFA) – The family of Palestinian prisoner in Israeli detention Ahmad Manasrah, 18 years old, said today that its son has contracted COVID-19 in Israeli detention.

His family told WAFA that the Israeli occupation authorities had informed the Beit Hanina Services Center in occupied Jerusalem about their son's infection with COVID-19, but that the authorities provided no details about his health condition.

The family said they had no information about the place of their son's detention at this time.

Over 140 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails have contracted the coronavirus since the outbreak of the pandemic in early March 2020.
