100 days since his strike, prisoner Awawda continues his battle to gain freedom from the occupation

Occupied Jerusalem (ST): One hundred days passed and Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawda continues his hunger strike inside the Israeli occupation prisons in an ongoing heroic battle despite the extreme danger to his life in which he draws strength from his spirit that the occupation cannot capture.

Dalal Awawda, the wife of the prisoner Khalil, tells news reporter in pain and fear about the critical health condition of her husband after a hundred days of the battle of the empty intestine, and the occupation deliberately neglected him medically by placing him in solitary confinement. His suffering increases because the occupation is holding him in a damp cell that lacks ventilation, hygiene and the most basic necessities of life.

Dalal indicated that her husband lost 40 kilograms of weight and his health condition entered the stage of extreme danger, pointing out that the occupation used all tools of oppression, injustice and psychological and physical torture in a failed attempt to break his will and strike, the last of which was to extract the picture of his four children from him, who are Tulin 9 years old, Lauren 5 years, Maria 4 years old and Mary, a year and a half old, to put pressure on him.

Awawdeh’s wife appealed to the international community and its human rights institutions to move and save her husband’s life, saying, “Enough of the silence.. Are you waiting for Khalil to die in order to intervene and turn to him? He has been denied a shower for two months, despite the heat and high humidity.”

As for the child of the captive, Tulin, with the innocence of the children, she explains that she has a question that she does not find an answer to: “Why does the world look away from my father’s pain? She added, “I have not heard my father’s voice since his arrest about six months ago. We only know his news from the media.

The spokesman for the Prisoner Club, Amjad Al-Najjar, warned of the deterioration of the health of the prisoner, Awawda, and the possibility of his death at any moment in light of the seriousness of his health and the occupation’s rejection of all demands and calls to transfer him to the hospital for treatment or provide medical care to him in detention, stressing that the policy of slow killing pursued by the occupation against Awawda will not succeed in breaking the will of his steadfastness to extract his just demands for freedom and dignity.
