Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSeveral dozen Palestinian inmates have called off a five-day-old hunger strike after Israeli authorities agreed to supply them with clothes, blankets, cleaning materials and other things they had been demanding, Ma’an reports.
The 46 prisoners had complained of filthy and unlivable conditions in the Etzion detention center, which had also been flooded recently, destroying inmates’ clothing and bedding.
Munqith Abu Atwan, from the Palestinian Committee for Prisoners’ Affairs, told the news outlet the prison was “hell, unfit for human life.”
