Ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak is refusing to eat or drink and doctors may consider feeding him intravenously if his condition deteriorates.
|||Cairo - Hosni Mubarak's chief doctor says the ousted Egyptian president is refusing to eat or drink and has lost weight - increasing speculation he won't stand trial next week as scheduled.
Assem Azzam described Mubarak's physical state as “almost stable”, but said he suffers from severe depression. He said on Tuesday doctors would consider feeding Mubarak intravenously if his condition deteriorates.
Mubarak has been under house arrest in a hospital in the Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh since April after being forced from power by a mass popular uprising.
Rumours about his declining health have been rife.
Critics suspect they are a ruse to sway public opinion to prevent Mubarak from standing trail on charges of corruption and killing protesters during the uprising. His trial is set to begin on August 3. - Sapa-AP
