A total of 93 Palestinian children are currently imprisoned in the Israeli Ofer prison, eight of whom are serving various jail terms while the rest are yet to be sentenced, a report said.

The Palestinian Authority’s Committee of Prisoners’ Affairs said in a Sunday report that almost 28 of the children in the Ofer prison, which is near the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, suffer from different illnesses.

According to the report, a total of 161 Palestinians under the age of 18 were detained by Israeli troops from the beginning of the current year until the end of May.

Many of those arrested have reported flagrant rights violations against them by Israeli soldiers.

At least 182 Palestinian minors are reportedly locked up in Israeli jails, including 26 below the age of 16.
