Saturday 18-February-2023

The family of the injured prisoner Rami Mahmoud Hammouda affirmed that his health situation has seriously deteriorated after being hit with Israeli gunfire last Monday.

Rami underwent two medical surgeries over the past two days while he is still in a coma the family added.

Rami is being held at Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital after being shot and injured for allegedly attempting to carry out a ramming attack a charge strongly denied by the family.

He was later arrested from a Palestinian ambulance after a military raid into Shuafat refugee camp.

According to the family Rami Hammouda was driving to a nearby bookshop to buy some school supplies for his 7-year-old daughter when Israeli forces opened fire at his vehicle.

A general strike was earlier declared in Shuafat refugee camp in east Jerusalem in protest at the policy of persecution siege and mass punishment pursued by the Israeli occupation state against the local residents.

In recent months the Israeli occupation police started to close the Shuafat checkpoint repeatedly and impose movement restrictions on the Shuafat camp residents especially in the morning when employees and workers go to their workplaces and students to their schools.
