Palestinian prisoner Miqdad al-Qawasmi who has refused food and drink for 98 days may face sudden death at any moment his family said.
Muthanna al-Qawasmi Miqdad’s brother affirmed that his brother suffers from blood poisoning and serious health deterioration as he faces death at any moment.
Muthanna quoted doctors as warning that Miqdad can no longer survive for several more hours.
“We will not wait for Miqdad’s death. We call on the Palestinian resistance national forces international institutions and all segments of our Palestinian people to save Miqdad’s life.”
In this regard the leader in Hamas movement and MP Hassan Yousef called on the Palestinian people not to stand idly before Israeli violations against Palestinian hunger striking prisoners.
“I call for a real uprising in all the occupied territories by all possible means to save our prisoners and holy sites” he said.
He also called on media outlets to shed more light on the plight of Palestinian prisoners especially those on hunger strike.
The prisoners’ issue is a national and humanitarian cause and everyone should take action and defend those who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the Palestinian cause he added.
Six prisoners embarked on open-ended hunger strikes to protest being held on “administrative detention” orders an Israeli policy that allows detaining Palestinians indefinitely based on “secret information” without pressing formal charges or putting them on trial.
