Israel Obstructs Entry Of Medicine, Medical Equipment To Gaza

By Saed Bannoura – IMEMC & Agencies – May 20, 2010

Despite Israeli guarantees to the International Community, the Israeli Authorities are still obstructing the entry of medicine and medical equipment to the besieged Gaza Strip. The last time medicine was allowed into Gaza was mid October 2009.

Raed Fattouh, who heads a committee in charge of the entry of good into the Gaza Strip, stated that since mid October 2009 until this day, Israel has been obstructing the entry of all medical equipment and medications transferred from the West Bank to Gaza.

Some of the urgently needed equipment are CT scan machines, incubators and their equipment, heart machines, dialysis machines and other urgently needed equipment.

Fattouh held Israel responsible for the lives of the patients in the Gaza Strip as the siege has already led to the death of hundreds of patients, including children and infants.

Israel claims that the equipment and the medicines are undergoing “security check” as they “can be used in a counterproductive way.”

Fattouh said that the Palestinian Authority asked the World Health Organization and other international groups to intervene and pressure Israel into allowing the needed medical equipment.

  1. Israel is a pariah state of nasty hateful neo-NAZIs who care nothing whatsoever about social injustice or human suffering, other than to inflict it on the Palestinians and other neighboring peoples maliciously.

    Dialogue is useless, they are mentally-ill monsters full of swagger that their American Zionist co-conspirators has bought/bribed impunity from legal, political, or military reprisals they most certainly are overdue for!

    The Star of David is the Zionist swastika and the Palestinians their Jews!

    I want the US to declare war on Israel for 9/11 and disarm them as completely as we did Germany. Have the UN General Assembly decide their fate on the statehood matter, and another Nuremberg tribunal held for the Israeli high cabal of the Zionist hardcore war criminals.
