From the outset conditions were intended to be harsh. People were imprisoned as a punishment. As time went on people would be put to useful work, but initially they were designed to make people conform so that when they were released they would behave as they were told to.
As time progressed and the war started there were new types of inmate and there were less resources allocated to the camps. Also the type of guard changed, they would become those not fit or able to serve in front-line units and they would be more indoctrinated.
Towards the end of the war even the 'show camps' could not maintain any level of sanitary conditions and as they would house people who had been on death marches, the inmates were emaciated so as one could not tell the difference between a better and a worse camp.
Conditions would also change for different type of prisoner; Jews obviously treated the worst, being given the worst tasks and the least food.

How were the conditions in the Palestinian concentration camps?
As no such things exist, there are no conditions to discuss. Palestinians have never been rounded up and placed in concentration camps and the use of that term is both insulting to the numerous people throughout history that suffered in concentration camps (especially during the Holocaust, the Soviet genocides, the Cultural Revolution, and the Cambodian Genocide) and hyperbole to inflate what wrongs Israel may perform. Palestinians live in refugee camps whose conditions while bad do not fall to the depravity of concentration camps.
