Israeli data indicate that at least 98 Palestinians have died in custody since October 2023, though the actual number is likely much higher, as hundreds of detainees in Gaza remain unaccounted for, according to Israel-based human rights group Physicians for Human Rights – Israel (PHRI). The organisation’s new report, based on freedom of information requests, forensic reports, and interviews with lawyers, activists, relatives, and witnesses, attributes the deaths to causes including physical violence, medical neglect, and malnutrition. Project coordinator, Physicians for Human Rights in Jerusalem, Oneg Ben Dror shares her insights.
