Number of Gaza siege victims rises to 87

Thursday 31-January-2008

GAZA (PIC)– A 56-year-old Palestinian from Jabalia refugee camp north of the Gaza Strip was proclaimed dead at dawn Thursday due to the tight Israeli blockade imposed on the Strip that prevented his treatment abroad.

Palestinian medical sources said that Joda Obaid was suffering from a heart disease and the delay in treating him led to his death.

Two other Palestinians died on Wednesday due to absence of proper medication and prevention from traveling abroad for treatment bringing the number of victims of the IOF siege of Gaza to 87. Many others fear a similar fate.
