Arabic version: صحفي فلسطيني يواجه جراحة بعد فقدان عينه الصناعية في السجن

Palestinian journalist Muath Amarne said his prosthetic eye fell out after an infection while in Israeli detention, leaving him in urgent need of surgery.

Amarne, who lost his left eye in 2019 after being struck by an Israeli rubber bullet, was held in prison for more than seven months. The infection that caused his prosthetic eye to fall out has raised concerns about his health and the conditions within the prison system.

According to Al Jazeera, the situation highlights the challenges faced by detainees regarding medical care and conditions in Israeli prisons. Amarne’s experience underscores the broader issues surrounding the treatment of prisoners in the region.
