**5. Prisoners during Ramadan: deliberate punitive measures and deprivation of worship and food**
Behind the walls of Israeli occupation prisons, the holy month of Ramadan becomes a bitter humanitarian experience for Palestinian prisoners, combining patience with deprivation of religious practices amid harsh detention conditions and strict measures that worsen their suffering during the blessed month.
Thousands of prisoners live under exceptional circumstances during Ramadan, dominated by security restrictions and difficult living conditions.
There is not enough food, no call to prayer is heard, and religious worship cannot be performed freely. Even fasting begins according to the prison system rather than the prisoners’ personal choice. The suhoor and iftar meals are served at pre-scheduled times, often with little variety in food.
