Youth News Palestine-Gaza

A Palestinian doctor named Nathmi Ashur died while waiting on the Israeli border in order to be treated for a blood clot in the brain.
Muawiya Hassanein, the director of Ambulance and Emergency services in the Palestinian Health Ministry said Ashur needed urgent treatment in Israel, but was forced to wait in an ambulance at the Israeli border for several hours while Israeli authorities approved the transfer.
Hassanain expressed his disappointment at what he said were frequent delays in transferring Gazan patients to Israeli or West Bank hospitals.
On Tuesday, a Palestinian man died of kidney failure after Israeli authorities would not permit him to leave the Gaza Strip.
Under Israeli policy, only a tiny number of medical patients are approved for transfer out of the Gaza Strip. Human rights organizations and the United Nations have condemned the practice.
