Dear Ms. Menegon,

It is great alarm that we, the Palestinian Human Rights Organizations Council (PHROC), address this urgent letter to you in relation to the dire circumstances facing Palestinian prisoners and detainees, and call upon the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to promptly and effectively fulfil its responsibilities towards Palestinian prisoners and detainees. Indeed, the principles of humanity and impartiality, which the ICRC is renowned for upholding, are desperately needed to ensure the safety and well-being of Palestinians in Israeli detention.
