Youth News Palestine-Gaza

An eight-year-old Palestinian child from Gaza City died on Monday after Israeli border guards delayed his entry into Israel, where he was to be treated for a brain condition, the Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) reported Tuesday.
PCHR said that the child, Amir Shaher Abdallah El-Yazji, had been unconscious due to a brain condition that physicians at Naser Pediatric Hospital in Gaza City could not diagnose.
The child's father, Shaher El-Yazji, obtained a permit to transfer his son to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv on Sunday. PCHR said Israeli guards at Erez checkpoint, the main crossing point into Israel, blocked the medical transfer four times that day.
Having at last gained permission from the guards, PCHR said, the child's condition had deteriorated, and he was taken back to Gaza City.
By PCHR's count, El-Yazji is the tenth person to die since August as a direct result of Israeli restrictions on the transfer of medical patients out of the Gaza Strip.
The Tel Aviv-based Physicians for Human Rights – Israel is petitioning in the Israeli court system to transfer another 11 patients whose conditions are "life threatening," to hospitals where they can receive treatments that are not available in Gaza.
