In a statement, the institution detailed that most of them are detained in the Damon prison.

Since the beginning of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, on October 7, 2023, more than 560 Palestinian women were arrested by the security forces, it revealed.

However, it warned, there is no exact figure of how many were arrested in the coastal enclave.

The Club accused the army of using many of them as a means of pressuring relatives to turn themselves in.

Recently, the Palestinian Prisoner Information Office denounced the inhumane conditions suffered by female detainees in Damon.

The agency noted that 31 women are crammed into four cramped rooms, lacking the most basic necessities of life.

It warned that they suffer from severe food shortages and receive only five slices of bread per day. They are also affected by a lack of hygiene supplies and clothing, it said.

To this is added poor health conditions, the Office stressed, accusing prison authorities of denying them basic medical services.
