Children in Gaza show support for hunger strikers in Israeli jails
Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza strip have staged a rally in solidarity with a hunger striking Palestinian prisoner whose condition is critical.
On Sunday, Palestinian kids marched through the streets in the Gazan city of Rafah, located in south of the coastal enclave.
They were showing their support for Palestinian prisoner Mohammed Allan, incarcerated in an Israeli jail.
Allan has been hospitalized due to his critical condition because he’s on a hunger strike.
The rally was organized by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad resistance movement earlier this week.
A similar protest was also held outside the Red Cross headquarters in Jerusalem al-Quds in the occupied West Bank.
Earlier in the day, doctors at a Medical Center in Ashkelon, where Allan is hospitalized, said he was fighting for his life.
Allan has been on hunger strike for more than two months in protest against his prolonged detention without charge or trial.
Since last week, several rallies have been staged in support of Palestinian inmates, who resort to staging hunger strikes in protest against their administrative detention, a sort of imprisonment without trial or charges that allows Israel to incarcerate Palestinians for up to six months.
Earlier this month, a Palestinian non-governmental organization said that nearly 150 prisoners have gone on hunger strike since the beginning of August.
According to the Palestinian Prisoners Society, there are 6,500 Palestinians in Israeli jails.
