Gaza - "Al-Quds" dot com - A stand was organized in the Gaza Strip, on Wednesday, in front of the headquarters of the United Nations High Representative in Gaza City, in support of the hunger-striking prisoners in the occupation prisons.

The participants in the vigil, which was organized by the "Handala" Center for Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners, in cooperation with the Ministry of Prisoners and other parties, in the presence of the prisoners' families and faction leaders, raised pictures of the striking prisoners and slogans supporting their struggle.

In her speech, Kamal Hamad, a member of the Political Bureau of the Popular Front, said that the striking prisoners realize that this battle is harsh and long in light of the occupation's escalation of its procedures and practices inside prisons.

Hamad pointed out that the occupation continues with all methods of pressure to block the way for the striking prisoners to end their strike, either by isolating them from the rest of the prisoners, or by obscuring their health conditions, noting that the prisoners continue their steadfastness with unbreakable determination despite all forms of abuse, repression and the policy of medical neglect.

She pointed out that this event comes within a series of ongoing supportive and escalating events in the Gaza Strip in support of the captive movement, stressing that their battle is a battle for all Palestinians, holding the occupation fully responsible for their lives.

It called for effective and urgent action by the various political forces and all national work institutions, with the aim of supporting and aiding the administrative prisoners in the battle of the open strike they are waging.
