GAZA, (PIC)-- Three Palestinian patients including a two-day-old infant and two men in their sixties died in Gaza on Monday due to lack of proper medication and Israeli refusal to allow them treatment outside the Strip.
Medical sources reported that the two-day-old infant Yousef Zakout died due to the lack of proper medication bringing the number of victims of Gaza siege to 150.
Earlier on Monday two old patients died in central and southern Gaza Strip, the sources said, adding that Mohammed Abu Hweishel, a cancer patient, had repeatedly asked for permit to leave the Strip for treatment but the Israeli occupation authority turned down his requests.
Ahmed Abul Naja, 62, died in the European hospital from liver inflammation, the sources said, noting that his condition rapidly deteriorated due to the absence of adequate treatment in Gaza.
The IOA imposed-siege on Gaza blocked travel of seriously ill Palestinian patients and with absence of proper medication dozens of them died and hundreds others fear a similar fate.
