Palestinian journalist Fathi Sabbah has accused the Palestinian Authority (PA) government and its health ministry of not being serious about providing medical treatment for his daughter Rima who suffers from blood cancer.
In Facebook remarks Sabbah said he received pledges from premier Mohamed Shtayyeh over the phone to personally follow up the case of his daughter after he published her story a few days ago.
He added that he was also phoned by Ahmed Abu Houli member of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s (PLO) Executive Committee who pledged to provide his daughter with appropriate medical treatment in hospitals like any citizen.
However he affirmed that the medical referral to Hadassah Hospital in Israel only included a medical checkup without covering the expenses of medication.
