Israel's Supreme Court has ruled the Israeli government is failing to provide sufficient food to Palestinians held in its jails. The three-judge bench has ordered authorities to take steps to improve their nutrition. Thousands of Palestinians have been held in Israeli jails for years, many without charge. Rights groups say more than 11,000 are currently detained. That number has drastically risen since Israel launched its war on Gaza. Neve Gordon, professor of human rights and international humanitarian law at Queen Mary University of London, says the ruling falls short and many prisoners have recounted being starved and abused in Israeli detention.
