Palestinian prisoner, Khalil Awawdeh, has halted his 6-month hunger strike on Wednesday after Israel agreed to release him on 2 October.
He has been on the verge of death after refusing food for some 180 days in a struggle for freedom no human being should ever have to wage.
In a video message from his hospital bed, Awawdeh said, “This resounding victory extends the series of great victories achieved by the mighty and honorable people of this nation.”
In the meantime, Awawdeh will remain hospitalized until he recovers.
Throughout his 6 months-long hunger strike against his administrative detention, the 40-year-old father of four has lost over half of his body weight. His medical condition has been dire and deteriorating rapidly.
