Palestinian cancer-stricken prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid died after years of deliberate medical negligence in Israeli jails, rights sources revealed Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs affirmed that Abu Hamid died after entering a deep coma in Assaf Harofeh Hospital.<\/p>\n
Earlier Monday, Israeli authorities transferred Abu Hamid from Ramle prison to Assaf Harofeh Hospital after a very serious deterioration in his health situation.<\/p>\n
Since August 2021, Abu Hamid’s health has been severely deteriorating. He was later diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his lungs, and his health condition was further exacerbated due to the Israeli policy of medical neglect. <\/p>\n
49-year-old Nasser Abu Hamid from the Al-Amari camp refugee camp, who has been detained since 2002, is serving seven life imprisonment sentences plus 50 years.<\/p>\n
Head of the commission Major General Qadri Abu Bakr held Israel responsible for Abu Hamid's martyrdom, calling on all the international community to stop Israeli crimes against Palestinian prisoners.<\/p>\n
For its part, the Ministry of Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners in the Gaza Strip mourned Abu Hamid, saying that the international community and its human rights and humanitarian institutions are also responsible for the Israeli violations against Palestinian prisoners.<\/p>\n
The time has come to stop the Israeli crimes against Palestinian sick prisoners, and to hold Israeli leaders accountable, the ministry added.<\/p>\n
