Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) on Thursday said that prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid who is a cancer patient is currently fighting for his life in Israeli detention due to his worsening health condition.
In a brief statement the PPS cited a medical report showing that Abu Hamid is dying adding that a press conference will be held later this evening to address this issue.
In January 2022 Abu Hamid’s doctor reported that Nasser had acute pneumonia as a result of a bacterial infection that led to a failure of his lungs and caused him to fall into a coma.
Since August 2021 Abu Hamid’s health has been severely deteriorating. He was later diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his lungs.
49-year-old Abu Hamid from the Al-Amari camp refugee camp in Ramallah who has been detained since 2002 is serving seven life imprisonment sentences and 50 years.
