Upon regaining awareness, the brutal assault was still underway. - "Upon regaining awareness, they continued to inflict blows on me"
"I was left lying on the cold, hard floor, stark naked and writhing in agony. My groin area was swollen and bruised beyond recognition, a result of the brutal assault I had just sustained."
This harrowing account comes from a Palestinian man who experienced firsthand the grave violations inside an Israeli prison. He revealed that the pain was so intense, he momentarily lost sensation, only to wake up to the ongoing torture.
"I blacked out briefly, only to regain consciousness and realize that the beating had not ceased."

The Grim Reality of Sexual Violence
Reports of such aggressive mistreatment against Palestinians in Israeli custody have been alarmingly common. These acts, often described as "torture" and "deliberate cruelty," can leave indelible psychological and physical scars on their victims.
"I coughed up blood as I lay there, battered and near death."
The unfortunate truth is that these cases rarely come to light, as survivors may fear retaliation or further harm if they dare to speak out. The international community, notably the United Nations, has repeatedly condemned such actions, with calls for justice and accountability falling on deaf ears.
"I felt like I was dying, beaten to within an inch of my life."
It is essential that the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, fueled by years of conflict and perpetuated by acts of violence and injustice, is addressed urgently. The international community must intervene to ensure the rights and dignity of all those involved are protected, and that justice prevails.
"I can still hear their laughter as they mercilessly beat me. I can only hope that one day, their actions will be exposed for what they truly are – unconscionable acts perpetrated by those who have lost all empathy for human life."
