Question: Palestinian hunger strike at Ashkalon Prison

Can you give me an update on the Palestinian hunger strike at Ashkalon Prison in Israel.

Answer: Palestinian hunger strike at Ashkalon Prison

800 prisoners stopped thier hunger strike on the 28th of August. 2000 others are still striking. Apparently, they have won some concessions from Israel. Al jezeera says that the strike was resumed on the 31st, but Israel denies it.
