Hundreds of Palestinians released from Israeli detention showed severe signs of malnutrition and abuse as part of a ceasefire swap with Hamas. Following the release of over 600 individuals, many were taken to hospitals for urgent medical care. Testimonies from the released highlighted horrific conditions in Israeli prisons, including torture methods such as electric shocks. Reports indicate some detainees returned with severe injuries and physical deformities due to ill-treatment. Families were left devastated as they reunited with their loved ones, emphasizing the traumatic experiences endured within detention.
Alaa al-Bayari, a Palestinian released to Gaza City, described horrific torture experiences stating, 'We were kept naked, water was thrown on us and then they used electricity to torture.'
Yahya Shrida, released to Ramallah, expressed the trauma of his detention, stating, 'It was as if we have been dug out of our own graves. What we have been through is a situation that the mountains can't carry.'
