Gaza Strip, December, 14, 2007, (PCAS)- Palestinian Medical sources reported today, Friday, that a new infant child died due to siege. The infant baby died after Israeli occupation banded her from traveling for treatment abroad!

The sources told PCAS that Hala Zanon, a 3-month-baby, had a severe disease since her birth. Her family tried hard to get her outside for treatment, yet she was prevented several times until she died.

The number of dead patients rise up to 38 individuals due to occupation harsh closure imposed on Gaza Strip.

A long list of patients are waiting death as there are no enough medicines and opened crossings to travel for treatment. Nevertheless, Israeli occupation is still violating International conventions and charts obviously.

The ongoing crime of preventing medicines will affect all sick people, especially the seriously ill ones. ” this is a humanitarian crime against innocent civilians. We call upon the free world to put an en end for this illegal siege.” PCAS said.

It’s remarkable that Israel is collectively punishing all people in Gaza Strip since several months. The fragile economy of Gaza Strip collapsed and more than half of Gazans live under poverty line.
