The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) attorney, Jawad Boulos, has already said that Abu Hawwash had lost his ability to move, and that he is suffering speaking difficulty after more than 130 days of hunger strike. The ICRC warned in a statement that Abu Hawwash could face irreversible health consequences and possible death, stressing that every detainee must be treated with dignity and humanity. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) reported that Abu Hawwash is in urgent need of clinical monitoring due to his worsening health condition, after its delegation visited the Palestinian inmate at the infamous Ramla prison infirmary.
