Palestinian detainees in the Huwwara detention center, located near the northern West Bank city of Nablus, on Thursday threatened to launch a hunger-stike in protest against a sharp deterioration in their living conditions and ongoing violations of their rights.

Deatinees told a lawyer from the Nafha Society, which defends the rights of Palestinian detainees, that the prison administration had revoked the right to recreation time and had been delaying the delivery of breakfast until late in the evening.

Several of the detainees stated that they didn't have winter clothes, and were living in very cold cells.

The Society voiced an appeal to the Red Cross to visit the detainees and act on their behalf to have winter clothes sent to all Palestinian prisoners currently being held in Israeli camps.
