""[My] section consists of 19 rooms, each equipped with four bunk beds," Mohammad told DCIP. "In each room, eight children occupy the beds, while the remaining children sleep on mattresses on the floor.""
""The mattresses, whether on the beds or on the floor, are extremely light and inadequate. Each prisoner receives two blankets, yet we still feel cold at night. There is no heating or cooling system in the rooms. The only items present are mattresses, blankets, and a single copy of the Quran in each room," he said."
"Mohammad said that authorities feed prisoners "extremely insufficient" meals. They are not fed dinner, and are only given three "tiny" pieces of bread and a spoonful of labneh for breakfast, and, for lunch, "half a small cup of undercooked, dry rice, a single sausage, and three small pieces of bread.""
A group of Democrats is demanding release of 16-year-old Mohammad Ibrahim, a Palestinian American held in Ofer military prison in pre-trial detention for eight months. Mohammad faces rock-throwing charges and has been barred from seeing his family during detention. Mohammad has lost significant weight and contracted scabies while in custody. Mohammad reports extreme overcrowding with many children sharing bunk beds and sleeping on floor mattresses, inadequate bedding, no heating or cooling, and only a single copy of the Quran per room. Mohammad describes extremely insufficient meals, skipped dinners, and limited, undercooked food portions.
