The Palestinian paralysed prisoner Moataz Abidu from al-Khalil started on Tuesday an open-ended hunger strike in protest against his continued administrative detention in Israeli jails.
The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said that Abidu was sent to solitary confinement shortly after declaring a hunger strike.
Abidu was shot and injured during his arrest in 2011 causing paralysis on his left leg and weakness and loss of control on the right leg the PPS added.
However Israeli prison administration only provides him with painkillers despite his difficult health condition.
