Palestinian prisoner Miqdad al-Qawasmeh a 24-year-old from al-Khalil has entered day 90 of his hunger strike in protest at his administrative detention with no indictment or trial.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society the health condition of prisoner Qawasmeh has reached a life-threatening stage and he could suddenly die any moment.
Over 20 days ago prisoner Qawasmeh was transferred to the intensive care unit at the Kaplan Hospital due to a sharp decline in his health condition a family source said.
The source added that Miqdad is determined to continue his hunger strike despite the Israeli refusal to end his administrative detention or set a date for his release.
His family has held the Israeli occupation authority fully responsible for Miqdad’s life and appealed to international human rights groups to necessarily intervene to save him before it is too late.
Meanwhile the Israeli administration of Ashkelon jail on Monday transferred prisoner Naser Abu Hameed to Barzilai Hospital in 1948 occupied Palestine (Israel) after his suffering from a serious health setback.
The health of prisoner Abu Hameed began to deteriorate clearly in last August when he complained about chest pains and medical tests affirmed that he had a lung tumor without providing him with medical treatment.
