New emergency room to be built at Israel Prison Service medical center in Ramla expected to treat hunger-strikers to avoid irreversible health problems caused by long-term fasting. Security officials say treatment necessary to prevent deaths, which could lead to riots. \r\nPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the authorities on Sunday(August 09) to examine the possibility of building a special medical emergency room in the framework of the Israel Prison Service, in light of the case of Mohammad Allan, an Islamic Jihad activist imprisoned in Israel who has refused food for over 50 days. |
