According to CNN, the Palestinian Authority Prisoner's Affairs Minister Issa Qaraqe said that over 1600 prisoners took part in the said hunger strikes and more prisoners are expected to participate the strike that will coincide the Palestinian Prisoner's Day.Qaraqe even urged more Palestinians to support the strike as a way of bringing the prisoners closer to their basic rights and demands and preventing the dignity of Palestinian Prisoners from harm.

The strike is considered as the largest in recent years and lead by the high profile inmate Marwan Barghouti, 57 who was arrested by Israeli government last 2002 because of murder. Barghouti won a widespread respect among the inmates and Palestinian faction, in fact, he is the most favored figure by the people of Palestine to take over President Mahmoud Abbas.

Al-taweel also added that the prisoners will not stop until they cannot achieve their demands, in fact, prisoners are looking the strike as the only way to knock on and to attain their rights.
