The Palestinian Prisoners Club revealed that the number of female prisoners in the Zionist enemy's prisons whose identities are known is (88) living in difficult and harsh conditions, especially in "Al-Damon", including four from the Gaza Strip.
The club said in a statement last night that among the detainees are (30) mothers, (22) administrative detainees, two minors, and (18) female students, after the release of four female students recently, the last of whom is Birzeit University student Shahd Awida, who was released yesterday evening.
It added that five female journalists and two female lawyers are still in the occupation's prisons.
He pointed out that this data does not include all the detainees in the Gaza Strip, and what is available is the information about their number in Al-Damon prison.

The club pointed out that since the beginning of the war of extermination, the occupation has escalated the arrest and targeting of women at an unprecedented level, and the level of crimes and attacks against them.
It stated that the number of arrests in the West Bank, including Jerusalem and the territories in 1948, amounted to about (450), and they include those who were arrested, and the occupation kept them in detention, and those who were released later, among them women who were held for periods as hostages with the aim of pressuring a family member to surrender, and among them were elderly mothers.
It pointed out that a number of pregnant women were targeted, who were arrested for several months, and were released after legal efforts. The Prisoners Club stressed that the occupation continues to isolate the administrative detainee Khalida Jarrar in the isolation of the (Neve Tartessia) prison in difficult conditions.
