Palestinian child dies in Gaza after being denied treatment abroad

The 6-year-old Palestinian child Mohamed Ahmed Sayes died on Saturday after being denied treatment abroad, PIC quoted Health Ministry as saying.

Spokesman for the Ministry Ashraf al-Qudra said that the child was lying in Intensive Care Unit for a whole week waiting for being allowed to travel for treatment.

However, the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah did not respond for the request quickly enough, according to him.

23 Palestinians, including babies, died in Gaza Strip after permits to grant Gazans treatment abroad were denied by the PA.
