Palestine Lives
Three Palestinian females who needed urgent medical treatment died earlier this month after being refused permission to leave Gaza which is under Israeli siege.
Gaza city resident Ahmahan Al Jamal a thirteen year old girl suffering from brain cancer, died after being refused permission to obtain medical care while two women Zakyiah Sa'dah 59, and Nathmiah Abdah 55, both from the Al Maghazi refugee camp in Gaza also died after being refused exit. Zakyiah had heart problems and Nathmiah was a cancer patient.

All three were victims of the blockade and so far the number who have died seeking to travel out of Gaza for medical care has risen to 145 since the siege began in June 2007.
These details are rarely if ever mentioned in the Western media but surely constitue a war crime against civilians.
