Palestinian held by Israel ends hunger strike after over 100 days, family says

A Palestinian held in administrative detention by Israel has ended his hunger strike after over 100 days, his family tells AFP.

Maher al-Akhras was protesting his detention without trial by Israeli authorities, who have accused him of involvement in a terror group.

For over a month, his attorney and human rights organizations involved in his case have been warning that al-Akhras is in serious medical danger should his hunger strike continue.
