Allaan did suffer brain damage from vitamin deficiencies
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleContradicting earlier reports that indicated Allaan did not suffer brain damage as a result of his hunger strike, the Barzilai Medical Center says he did sustain some cognitive damage, but it was unclear whether it was reversible.
The brain damage was a result of severe vitamin deficiencies, the hospital says.
There are conflicting reports on the extent of the damage, with Haaretz maintaining it’s irreversible, Channel 10 saying it’s partially reversible, and other Hebrew reports noting that it is not permanent.
