Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies revealed that a serious deterioration has emerged on the health condition of the Palestinian detainee Fadi Sarsour 23 from al-Ezeriyah town in Occupied Jerusalem due to a unknown insect bite while in the Israeli Negev desert prison on October 24.
The media spokeswoman of the center Amina al-Tawil said that prisoner Sarsour started to experience some symptoms after the bite including swelling in the neck the chest and the limbs. He was taken to the prison clinic where he was diagnosed with unknown allergy.
The prison doctors gave him only painkillers which worsened his health condition. His health dramatically deteriorated in the past few days as he has become unable to breathe normally in addition to suffering from a swelling in the gullet.
After prisoners pressured the prison administration to move him to a hospital outside jail he was transferred to Soroka hospital where he was told that the delay in moving him had worsened his health condition.
Tawil pointed out that captive Sarsour suffered from severe suffocation that could have killed him. Doctors said that he was at real risk.
His relatives have been unable to visit him for three months. He has been detained since November 29 2015 and serving a 30-month sentence.
The family demanded that human rights organizations put pressure on the Israeli occupation authorities in order to release their son so that he could receive appropriate treatment outside jail. They held Israel responsible for the life of their imprisoned son.
