The ministry explained that one of the female prisoners called Wafa Al-Bis is from Gaza, four are from occupied Jerusalem, three are from the 1948 occupied lands, and the rest are from the occupied West Bank. 27 women received different prison sentences, atop of them is Ahlam Attamimi who is serving 16 life sentences. As a result of the policy of medical neglect, the health condition of prisoner Abeer Amro has deteriorated very badly and her weight declined from 85 to 45 kilograms. Two of these prisoners are mothers and each of them has two kids, while four others have husbands who are also imprisoned in Israeli jails. The Israeli prison administrations, in addition to the deliberate medical neglect, deprive Palestinian women in prison from basic rights, where they are not allowed to pursue their education and prevented from practicing their usual handicrafts. The Israeli jailers also many times attacked the cells of these female prisoners after midnight and ransacked their belongings as well as imposing heavy fines under false pretenses. For its part, the Palestinian ministry of information appealed to the international community to urgently intervene to stop Israel's violations against the Palestinian women in its jails and pressure it to release them. In a press release on Tuesday on international women's day, the ministry saluted Palestinian women for their ability to overcome difficulties during the time of crisis. It stressed that women in the Palestinian society are known for their ability to triumph over their concerns and sorrows in spite of Israel's attempt to undermine their steadfastness.
