🚨Israel is holding thousands of Gazans hostage in the Sde Teiman "Concentration Camp" (as some Israelis call it)

Put in cages, starved, tied, blindfolded, tortured, per an IDF soldier that gave a harrowing testimony

Red Cross is NOT given ANY access to the site

Several died🧵

2\ The IDF reservist gave his full testimony here in Hebrew:

"The detainees in the Sde Teiman compound are kept in sort of cages, about 70-100 detainees in each facility... aged 18 to around 60.

There's also a geriatric cage... I had seen people aged 75"

3\ The Gazan detainees are Sde Teiman "are seated in rows, without the ability to move. They are made to sit cross legged [in a tailor's posture], they are not allowed to speak, they are with an eye-cover on, & handcuffed; the entire time" the soldier testified

4\ Gazan detainees "are not allowed to sleep properly... during the day they beat them up, or punish in other ways anyone who tries to sleep. They sleep on top of very thin mattresses, practically sleeping on the floor, on dirty "scabies" blankets"

5\ "The detainees eat relatively little, from what I saw. The dinner there consisted of two slices of bread, a cucumber, & very little cheese"

"We were given permission by the operators of the facility, which are military police... to punish as we see fit any [Gazan detainees]"

6\ "Some of the detainees also have wounds, you can really see in the clinic how some of the wounds get infected due to the horrible conditions. They shower once a week, & don't change their clothes during the entire time, which could be... at least 20 days, from what I saw."

7\ "The clinic treats... the people who need more urgent medical treatment, who can't survive without relative close monitoring inside the cages. They are handcuffed to their beds & can't move. Even those who could theoretically go to the restroom... are all with diapers."

8\ "For the soldiers this was a somewhat JOYOUS task, b/c it was an opportunity... [to] take part in the war efforts. The discourse was really, like, 'we are getting back at them now'... Like the appropriate thing to do to them is to maybe beat them up while their hands are tied"

9\ Haaretz also highlighted the Sde Teiman detention camp here. Israel is refusing to disclose how many Gazans it's holding there.

@EuroMedHR estimates over 3,000 Gazans have been kidnapped by the IDF without trial, charges, legal counsel or @ICRC access
