Human rights groups voice concern over the condition of Maher al Akhras, who began a hunger strike 79 days ago against his detention without charge by Israel

Maher al Akhras, 49, a Palestinian who began a hunger strike 79 days ago against his detention without charge by Israel, lies in a hospital bed in Rehovot, Israel October 13, 2020.

A resident of the city of Jenin in the north of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Akhras was taken into custody in July under an Israeli "administrative detention" order. His wife said Akhras knows his life is in danger. “He says this is the only way he can achieve justice,” she said.Demonstrators take part in a protest to show solidity with Maher al Akhras, 49, in Gaza City October 13, 2020. At the hospital, Akhras's wife Taghreed told Reuters that he would continue the hunger strike for his immediate release despite a decision on Monday by Israel's Supreme Court not to extend his four-month detention term beyond November 26.

The Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights called on international rights groups to intervene immediately to "save the life of Akhras before it is too late."
