RAMALLAH: A Palestinian prisoner who has been on hunger strike for 80 days could die any moment following a sudden deterioration in his health, Palestinian sources have warned. Khader Adnan, 44, from Arraba in Jenin, stopped taking food in protest at his arrest and detention by Israeli authorities. Every time he is transferred to a hospital, he is returned under the pretext that he refused medical support, it added. The Israeli authorities filed an indictment against him which was swiftly rejected by Adnan. Palestinian prisoners are facing worsening conditions since the arrival of Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has pledged unprecedented punitive measures against them.
