Palestinians held in Israeli prisons are set to go on a mass hunger strike to protest against detention conditions
People gather with signs for a demonstration in support of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons, outside the offices of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank on September 14, 2021.
Hundreds of their fellow inmates were transferred to other jails and personal items confiscated in searches carried out by guards, according to the Palestinian Prisoners' Club."The situation is very bad in the prisons, that's why they're going on hunger strike," Qadri Abu Bakr, head of the Palestinian Authority's commission for prisoners, told AFP.
The Red Cross has said Israel has decided to allow visits to prisoners, after they were suspended last week.
