RAMALLAH, (PIC)-- A Palestinian human rights center has warned of the health deterioration of hunger strikers in Israeli jails.
Around 20 Palestinian detainees were transferred to hospital due to their health deterioration, while the hunger striker lost more than 15 kg of their weights after 30 days of their strike, Palestine Center for Prisoners' Studies said on Saturday.
The center added that administrative detainees risk death in Israeli jails after 30 days in a row on hunger strike, while the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) still refuses to discuss their demands before stopping their hunger strike.
The center pointed out that IPS imposed tough sanctions and used excessive force against administrative detainees in an attempt to break their strike.
It added that isolated detainees in Ohli Kidar prison were transferred to Soroka Hospital after being poisoned from drinking contaminated water offered to them by the prison administration.
Palestine Center for Prisoners Studies called for immediate action in support of administrative detainees before it is too late, calling on Arab League to activate prisoners' issue at UN forums and conferences.
The center also pointed to Ayman Atabich’s serious health condition due to his hunger strike declared 86 days ago.
For its part, Palestinian prisoners’ leadership confirmed that more prisoners are going to join administrative detainees' hunger strike.
50 Palestinian prisoners, in Nafha prison, and 15 prisoners, in Raymond prison, declared their intention to join the hunger strike on Sunday, the sources added on Saturday.
The prisoners’ leadership stressed the prisoners' determination to continue their protest steps till meeting their demands.
Meanwhile, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has asked Israeli authorities to make
doctors working in Israeli prisons under health ministry's responsibility instead of Israeli Security Services.
In his meeting with prisoners' families, the ICRC Health in Detention Coordinator Raed Abu Rabi stated that Palestinian prisoners face very poor detention conditions which do not meet international standards.
Following his visit to Ayman Atabich in Assaf Harofeh hospital, Abu Rabi warned of Ayman's sharp health deterioration after 86 days on hunger strike.
Red Cross has appointed three doctors to check on the health status of hunger strikers held in 10 Israeli prisons, he added.
Palestinian administrative detainees have been on hunger strike for 31 consecutive days protesting their continued detention without trial and charge.
