Halahleh, who was recently transferred to a hospital after refusing to drink water, is reportedly on his deathbed.
A lawyer from al-Quds-based charity Addameer described Halahleh's deteriorating condition.
"Halahleh has lost significant weight, and now weighs 55kg," said the NGO.
It further warned that "he has exceedingly low blood pressure and his temperature is fluctuating at dangerous levels. In addition to vomiting blood, Halahleh is also bleeding from his gums and lips."
"Israel's" supreme court rejected a request by Halahleh and fellow hunger striker Bilal Diab to be freed.
This came as "Israel" still refuses to transfer Diab and Halahleh to hospital after 73 days on hunger strike, the Prisoners Society said Friday.
Diab, 27, and Halahleh, 33, are being held in the "Israeli" prison clinic, Prisoners' Minister Qaddura Fares said, adding that the "Israeli" authorities refused to allow the society's lawyer to visit them on Thursday.
However, it seems that "Israel" started to surrender.
According to news agencies, "Israel's" prison service has offered to ease restrictions on Palestinian prisoners in a bid to end a mass hunger strike that has left several detainees close to death.
An official with Addameer told AFP on Thursday that negotiations between prisoners and the "Israel" Prison Service (IPS) appeared to be making progress.
"According to what we have learned from the prisoners, there was a meeting last night in Nafha prison between the IPS and leaders of the hunger strike," she said.
