Awawda, who has reached critical health conditions due to the long hunger strike he launched on March 3 in protest against his administrative detention without charge or trial, was detained on December 27 of last year and was slammed with six-month administrative detention, which ends in six days. There was concern that Israel would renew his detention. In addition to Awawda, married with four children from the southern West Bank town of Idna, Raed Rayyan, 28, from Beit Daqqo village near Jerusalem, remains on hunger strike for the 76th day also demanding an end to his administrative detention.
