Palestinians held in Israeli prisons without charge or trial have continued their open-ended hunger strike against their dire situation at Ofer Prison for nearly a week.
Five Palestinians began the strike at the prison near the city of Ramallah last Friday, said the prisoners’ representative committee.
The committee said the strike was “part of their struggle to improve their conditions.”
The five hunger strikers are identified as Mahmoud Ayyad, Islam Jawarish, Thaer al-Helou, Issa Awad, and Nadim Rajoub.
The committee said the Israel Prisons Service had reacted to the protest measure by isolating the prisoners.
The strike came after prison authorities “failed to keep a promise to reconsider the administrative detention issue and discuss it with the representatives of the prisoners in a broad session,” the committee said.
The committee warned that the hunger strikers’ number could rise in the coming days.
Among the 6,500 Palestinians, who are held in Israeli jails, more than 400 are held in administrative detention, including lawmakers.
