Number of Victims of Israeli Siege on Gaza Mounts to 60
GAZA, January 1, 2008 (WAFA) -A 61-year-old cancer patient, a seriously ill woman and an infant died on Tuesday bringing the number of Palestinian patients who died in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli oppressive siege to 60.
Medical sources said that the Palestinian infant Dua'a Habib from Gaza city and Safiyya Shahin from central Gaza Strip died at dawn Tuesday after long suffering from chronic diseases.
The 61-year-old Mohammed Khader, a cancer patient, was pronounced dead on Tuesday morning after being denied permission by the IOF troops besieging the Strip to receive treatment abroad.
Death is threatening a long list of seriously ill Palestinians in the Strip as a result of lack of proper medication and the travel ban.
