His family has been campaigning for his release and for proper medical treatment, building a campaign and organizing rallies in Gaza, his home, as reported by the Electronic Intifada.
Mamdouh al-Bitar, Ibrahim’s brother, said “The aim is for Ibrahim to be released because of his health condition…The second is for a health committee to have access, to find out his condition and give him the proper medication. Finally, we want the release of all the sick prisoners.”
