The Head of the Studies and Documentation Department at the Prisoners’ Affairs Authority, Abdel Nasser Farwana, said that more than 600 Palestinian prisoners are suffering from various illnesses, including dozens who have chronic diseases like heart failure, kidney failure, paralysis, and cancer.

Farwana added that some of the sick Palestinian prisoners need help with some basic daily activities.

Furthermore, he assured that if comprehensive examinations were conducted on all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, the number of cases would witness a sharp rise.

The top Palestinian figure also stated that "over 400 Palestinian prisoners have waged individual hunger strikes over the last 10 years, the majority of them against administrative detention, as an act of resistance, in light of international institutions' impotence and silence in the face of this ongoing crime."

In protest of their administrative detention, administrative prisoners in the Israeli occupation prisons continue their boycott of the Israeli occupation courts for the 13th consecutive day.

Save Nasser Abu Hamid

It is worth mentioning that cancer-stricken prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid is in a critical situation, as a result of the occupation’s deliberate stalling and neglect.

For his part, Hamas Movement Spokesperson Hazem Qassem warned that "the occupation continued medical negligence against the Palestinian detainee Nasser Abu Hamid is a crime that reflects the sadism of the 'Zionist Prison Service' in dealing with the Palestinian detainees in the occupation prisons."

Similarly, Waed Association for Prisoners strongly denounced the policy of “medical negligence to which cancer-stricken Prisoner Nasser Abu Hamid and all the prisoners were subjected," stressing that Abu Hamid is “subjected to a systematic and deliberate assassination.”
