Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh called yesterday to immediately act to save the life of Palestinian prisoner Kayed al-Fasfous, who has been on hunger strike for 123 days.

“International human rights and humanitarian organizations are required to take urgent action to save the life of Fasfous, whose medical reports suggest that his health has entered the stage of severe danger,” said Shtayyeh in a statement published by Ibrahim Melhem, the government’s spokesperson.

Shtayyeh also called for an end of the Israeli policy of administrative detention, which allows Israeli authorities to imprison Palestinians indefinitely without charge or trial.

Earlier yesterday, Fasfous's brother, Hasan, said that doctors at Barzilai told him that his brother had developed symptoms suggesting a clot in his blood, which is an early warning of the risk of sudden death.
