The health of the Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawda is critically deteriorating after he entered day 145 on Friday of his hunger strike.
Awawda 40 is protesting his continued detention in Israeli prisons without trial or charge under the administrative detention policy.
Family sources affirmed that Awawda suffers many health problems including severe head and back pains dizziness vision and movement problems.
The father of four was arrested by Israeli forces from his home in the village of Ithna south of al-Khalil city in the occupied West Bank in December 2021.
Like 530 other Palestinians currently held under such orders Awawda was placed in administrative detention.
The policy allows Israeli authorities to imprison Palestinians indefinitely based on “secret information” not accessible to the prisoner or their lawyer.
Israeli authorities transferred Awawda last week to an Israeli civilian hospital before he was returned to Ramla prison clinic where he is currently being held amid very difficult detention conditions.
