Alarm bells have been sounded as the health of the two hunger strikers Anas Shedid and Ahmad Abu Fara has taken a critical turn for the worse in Israeli jails.
Speaking with the PIC lawyer Ahlam Haddad said following a visit to Shedid and Abu Fara in the Israeli Assaf Harofeh Hospital that a Palestinian doctor who accompanied her warned that the hunger strikers’ lower limbs have been almost paralyzed.
The doctor further warned that the two hunger strikers lost their ability to urinate over recent days which is a sign of a serious renal failure.
The doctor added that the two hunger strikers have reached a point of no return.
The medical report provided evidence for cardiovascular and vision disorders along with ulcers in the mouth and pharynx.
The two hunger strikers have also been suffering from excruciating pains in the head teeth muscles joints stomach and groins along with a muscle atrophy and weight loss.
Hunger strikers Shedid and Abu Fara were kidnapped by the Israeli occupation soldiers from their homes in the southern West Bank province of al-Khalil. They were held in administrative detention without charge or trial which made them declare their open-ended hunger strike on September 25. As of December 12 they stopped drinking water.
