10 May 2024 <\/em>– Three Israeli whistleblowers who worked at the notorious Sde Teiman prison camp in the Negev desert offered horrifying accounts of the treatment of Palestinians held there, telling<\/a> CNN<\/em> that the facility’s doctors have amputated limbs due to handcuffing injuries, allowed detainees’ wounds to rot, and carried out vicious beatings.<\/p>\n

A medic who worked at Sde Teiman’s field hospital said that Palestinian detainees there are stripped “of anything that resembles human beings” and that the harassment and torture are done not to “gather intelligence” but “out of revenge” for the October 7 attacks.<\/p>\n

Israel<\/a> has detained thousands of Gaza<\/a> residents since October, with many of them held under a recently amended law that empowers<\/a> Israeli authorities to imprison people indefinitely without charge or due process. Human rights organizations have documented Israeli forces’ brutal and degrading treatment<\/a> of Palestinian detainees, including women and children<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the field hospital, CNN<\/em> reported, “wounded detainees are strapped to their beds, wearing diapers and fed through straws.”<\/p>\n

One Israeli whistleblower took a photograph of a room at the facility, which the person said was filled with a “putrid stench” and the sound of “men’s murmurs” as they were “forbidden from speaking to each other.”<\/p>\n

“We were told they were not allowed to move,” the whistleblower said. “They should sit upright. They’re not allowed to talk. Not allowed to peek under their blindfold.”<\/p>\n
