The UN Human Rights Office has published a report detailing “a range of appalling acts” perpetrated against the thousands of Palestinian detainees taken into custody by Israeli authorities since 7 October.
Detainees reported being attacked by dogs and subjected to waterboarding.
Some said they were held in cage-like facilities for prolonged periods, wearing only nappies. Others reported prolonged blindfolding, being denied food, sleep and water, as well as being tortured with electric shocks and cigarette burns.
The report said that most of those taken into custody in Gaza have been held in “prolonged secret and incommunicado detention” raising “serious concerns of enforced disappearance.”
