Gaza Flotilla Activist on Hunger Strike in Tunisia Said to Be ‘On Verge of Death’
Wael Naouar has been hospitalised as his hunger strike enters its 39th day, according to the Gaza Sumud Flotilla.
A Gaza flotilla activist detained in Tunisia is said to be “on the verge of death” after entering the 39th day of a hunger strike, according to Al Jazeera.
Wael Naouar has been hospitalised as his condition has deteriorated during the extended hunger strike, according to the Gaza Sumud Flotilla, the group he is associated with.
Details of the specific charges or circumstances that led to Naouar’s detention in Tunisia were not included in the initial report.
The Gaza Sumud Flotilla has drawn international attention in connection with efforts to challenge restrictions on movement to and from Gaza, with participants in such initiatives facing legal consequences in various jurisdictions.
Naouar’s prolonged hunger strike and hospitalisation have raised concerns among supporters about his health, with the flotilla group calling attention to his condition as the strike continues.
No further information was immediately available on the Tunisian authorities’ response to the reported health crisis or on any potential resolution to Naouar’s detention.
