Seven Palestinian prisoners who were among those freed by Israel as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal are admitted to hospitals upon arriving in Ramallah, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club tells AFP.
“All the prisoners who were released today are in need of medical care, treatment, and examinations as a result of the brutality they were subjected to during the past months. There are seven who were transferred to the hospital,” says Abdullah al-Zaghari, head of the NGO. The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed that seven inmates had been admitted to hospitals.
The claims came after three Israeli hostages were released looking emaciated and frail from Hamas captivity.
