Days of Palestine, West Bank –International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) said on Thursday that Palestinian journalist hunger strike in Israeli jails is dying.
In a statement, the ICRC said that its doctor visited the hunger striking journalist Mohamed al-Qeq in the Israeli jails and said that he is suffering “very serious conditions.”
The ICRC said that it had been in continuous contact with the Israeli occupation authorities in order to discuss humanitarian issues on behalf of the Palestinians.
“Currently, we stress on the importance to maintain open channel between the patient and the Israeli authorities in order to prevent his death,” ICRC official said in the statement.
The Israeli occupation forces are violating the Fourth Geneva Convention, the ICRC said, regarding its prevention of Al-Qeq from the visit of his family.
Al-Qeq has been on hunger strike since November 24, 2015, protesting against his administrative detention by the Israeli occupation.
