A 21-year-old Palestinian man has died while being held in Israeli prison, becoming the eighth detainee to die in Israeli custody since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza began.
According to the Wafa news agency, Mohammed Ahmad al-Sabar died as a result of medical negligence practised by the Israeli prison authorities.
Al-Sabar had been in detention without charges or trial since May 2022, with the latest administrative order issued against him last November for a four-month period.
According to a Wafa correspondent, the young man died in the Hadassah Medical Center in occupied East Jerusalem after his transfer from the Ofer prison. He suffered from complications related to a congenital intestinal condition, requiring specific medication that Israeli authorities denied him access to.
