Iran Press/Middle East: In a statement on Wednesday, the Spokesman of Hamas Sami Abu Zuhri pointed to the refusal of the Zionist regime's prisons to provide the Palestinian detainees with disinfectants against coronavirus, calling it an inhumane crime.
The Palestinian Captive movement also emphasized that the Israeli regime is preventing many essential substances, including disinfectants and hygiene, from entering the prisons to combat the coronavirus.
The Palestinian Committee for Prisoners and Freedman announced last week that the Zionist regime has sent a Palestinian prisoner to Asqalan prison for treatment by an Israeli doctor who has been infected with the coronavirus.
After returning to prison, the Palestinian prisoner interacted with many other prisoners, and others may have infected by the virus.
Nineteen Palestinian prisoners are currently being kept in quarantine.
More than 100 cases of confirmed coronavirus have so far been reported in Israel, while 30 people have tested positive for the disease in Palestinian territories.
The new virus, a respiratory disease known as COVID-19, emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in Hubei Province late last year. It has killed nearly 8,300 people globally, and infected over 200,000, according to the World Health Organization.
