Prisoner's society: Israel keeping hunger striker alive 'unethically'

The head of the Palestinian Prisoner's Society said Sunday that Israeli medical procedures to keep Palestinian hunger striker Mohammad Allan alive were "unethical" and the society would ask for them to be halted.

Qadura Fares told Ma'an that doctors at Barzilai Medical Center in southern Israel had decided to prolong the hunger striker's life "on his behalf," although he said that he did not believe it amounted to force-feeding.

"They're deciding on his behalf," he said. "It's unethical."

Allan, who has been on hunger strike 62 days, slipped into a coma on Friday.

Gaza woman dies of wounds from Israeli ordinance explosion

A Palestinian woman from the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday morning succumbed to wounds sustained earlier this month when an unexploded ordnance last summer's Israeli military offensive went off.

Palestinian medical sources at Abu Yousif al-Najjar hospital in Rafah said that 77-year-old Amina Abu Naqira on Sunday morning died after fighting for her life for more than a week.

Four other Palestinians were killed and more than 30 injured when the unexploded ordnance went off while a family was clearing rubble from a destroyed house in the Shabora neighborhood of Rafah on Aug. 6.
