JERUSALEM, March 27, 2012 (WAFA) – The Israeli civil administration, a department in the Israeli West Bank military government, cancelled all permits issued to ambulance drivers from the West Bank who work in Jerusalem, Mohammed Gharableh, head of ambulance services union in occupied East Jerusalem, said on Tuesday.

He told WAFA that cancellation of the permits will paralyze the ambulance service in the east section of the city; explaining that 20 ambulances had to stop working because the drivers could not reach their work places in Jerusalem, leaving only two cars in the service.

Gharableh said this measure violates the terms of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
