The Palestinian Commission for Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners' Affairs warned on Tuesday of the serious health condition of the Palestinian prisoner Walid Daqqa, who has been detained for 38 years, and who was recently transferred to the Israeli Barzlai Hospital due to a relapse in his health.

According to the commission’s statement, the commission’s lawyer Karim Ajwa, who ended his visit to prisoner Daqqa this afternoon, explained that Daqqa is in an unstable condition resulting from acute pneumonia and that his transfer to the hospital was due to his suffering from dizziness and low hemoglobin levels.

"Walid informed me that new medical examinations were conducted for him when he was transferred to the hospital, and a tube was inserted into his lung to withdraw fluids and investigate the causes of severe pneumonia he suffers from," Ajwa said, adding that Daqqa also suffers from back and leg pain, in addition to fatigue when speaking.

Prisoner Daqqa "is constantly monitored with ECG, supported with an oxygen nasal cannula, and is scheduled to undergo a chest x-ray today," Ajwa added.

The Prisoners' Authority called for immediate action to save the life of prisoner Daqqa and for immediate intervention to release him, to better diagnose his condition. The authority also demanded the transfer of the prisoner to a qualified hospital to receive the necessary and appropriate treatment.

The prisoner's family appealed to everyone to "take immediate action to save his life and not let him struggle with death inside the occupation cells, as happened with martyr Nasser Abu Hamid."

It is noteworthy that prisoner Daqqa has been detained since 1986 and was sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of resisting the occupation.  His sentence was later decreased to 37 years.

In 2018, two years were added to his sentence, and a few years ago, his wife, Sanaa Salameh, was able to give birth to their daughter, Milad, after smuggling Daqqa's sperm from prison.

Last December, the Commission for Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners' Affairs confirmed through its lawyer, Karim Ajwa, that Palestinian prisoner Zakaria Al-Zubaidi, one of the heroes of the Gilboa prison operation, submitted an urgent request to the occupation prison administration to donate his bone marrow to cancer-stricken prisoner Walid Daqqa.
