Supporters, including Zarah Sultana MP and Jenny Jones, gathered outside the jail after reports that an ambulance was initially denied entry despite Zuhrah's deteriorating condition. Prisoners for Palestine claims Zuhrah experienced severe pain and inadequate medical care. Other prisoners are also participating in the hunger strike, some for over a month. Jeremy Corbyn questioned Keir Starmer about meeting with representatives of the hunger strikers.
