GAZA, (PIC)-- The PA health ministry in Gaza stated that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) barred 67 Palestinian patients in Gaza from traveling abroad to receive medical treatment and did not respond to travel requests submitted by 411 others during the past month of March.
In this regard, two Palestinian patients were proclaimed dead on Thursday and Friday after they tried more than once to travel abroad for treatment but to no avail. The patients' families added that the lack of medicines in Gaza also contributed to their death.
For its part, the popular committee against the siege said that the death of the two patients raised the number of the siege victims to 123 Palestinians including 24 children, 43 women in addition to 32 patients who died at the crossings.
The Israeli siege also killed a Palestinian infant called Mohamed Haneyya on Friday evening after the IOA refused his travel request submitted by his family four consecutive times.
