Occupied Jerusalem-SANA
Dozens of Palestinians, during a solidarity stand in the city of Tulkarm in the West Bank today, called on the international community, human rights and humanitarian institutions and the International Red Cross to urgently intervene to save the lives of prisoners in Israeli occupation prisons, especially the hunger strikers.
According to Wafa Agency, the participants in the weekly vigil in front of the Red Cross office raised the Palestinian flags, stressing the need to continue supporting the prisoners and solidarity with them in light of the violations and brutal practices they are subjected to by the occupation authorities amid deliberate medical neglect against them.
About 5,000 Palestinian prisoners inside Israeli jails face harsh detention conditions, including about 600 prisoners who need urgent medical intervention.
