Serious deterioration in Khader Adnan’s health condition

The health situation of the Palestinian captive Khader Adnan has seriously deteriorated as he continues his hunger strike for 46 consecutive days protesting his administrative detention, rights group said.

Head of the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) Jawad Boulos said that Israeli officials asked him late Thursday to urgently come to Assaf Harofeh Hospital as Adana’s health situation has sharply deteriorated.

Adnan was vomiting along the visit hours and unable to speak loudly, while his right hand is still tied to the bed, Boulos said. He lost many of his weight.

Israeli authorities suggested to “improve Adnan’s detention conditions” in Assaf Harofeh Hospital if he accepts to conduct medical tests. However, Adnan refused the Israeli offer and continued to only drink water without taking any vitamins.

Along the past few hours, a number of Israeli figures have visited Adnan in the hospital including head of Israeli Medical Association and members of Physicians for Human Rights.
