Rose Khwais, who was among the Palestinians freed on the first day of the ceasefire deal, says she became unwell due to poor conditions while she was imprisoned by Israel, reports Al Jazeera.
“We used to see the sky through small squares. I used to say, ‘I hope I will see the sky without these squares’,” she said in an interview after returning to her family home in occupied East Jerusalem.
“The moment they took us out of prison, I saw the mountains of Carmel and the sky,” she added.
“They didn’t treat us well. There was no medical treatment. I had symptoms of a stroke, liquid around the heart, and also blood pressure problems. I wasn’t afraid of the illnesses, I was worried that my family would know that I got sick.”
