Four Palestinian administrative detainees continue their open-ended hunger strike in Israeli prisons, protesting against the Israeli illegal policies practiced against them, including administrative detention.

Human rights sources reported that the Palestinian detainee Khalil Awawdeh continues his open hunger strike for the 168th day running in protest of his illegal administrative detention.

Awawdeh`s health conditions have been deteriorating over the past months. Meanwhile, Israeli occupation authorities still refuse to release him.

On December 27, 2021, Israeli occupation forces detained Awawdeh and held him under administrative detention. Israeli occupation issued last week an order to stop Awawdeh`s detention temporarily.

Awawdeh refused to suspend the hunger strike, stressing that he will continue until he obtains his freedom.
