Doctors in the Israeli Assaf Harofeh hospital are exerting intense pressures on the hunger-striking Palestinian prisoners Ahmad Abu Farah and Anas Shadid to suspend their 72-day open hunger strike and to take vitamins the Quds foundation for prisoners said.
The foundation mentioned in a statement on Monday that the hospital administration moved prisoner Shadid to a crowded ward where patients keep screaming all the time denying him rest and sleep.
Shadid’s deteriorating health condition is causing him a great difficulty in moving speaking and seeing other than the suffering he goes through when sleeping due to the excruciating pains in his back and abdomen. He is also no longer able to recognize his visitors due to an extreme weakness in memory.
The two prisoners were detained from their houses in Hebron on 2nd August 2016 and held in administrative detention which made them start a hunger strike on 25th September 2016.
Ahmad Abu Farah 29 from Surif town in al-Khalil has been married for less than a year and previously spent two years in the Israeli jails while Anas Shadid 19 is a single young man from Dura also in al-Khalil.
