Palestinian child dies in Lebanon as hospital denies him treatment

Tuesday 18-December-2018

3-year-old Palestinian child Mohamed Wahba was pronounced dead in Tripoli north of Lebanon after he was denied admission into a local hospital.

Local sources said the hospital administration refused to hospitalize Mohamed Wahba after his family taking shelter in Naher al-Bared could not secure treatment fees.

The Lebanese Health Ministry reportedly launched an investigation into the incident.

Hundreds of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon marched in the child’s funeral procession and denounced the preplanned neglect pursued against Palestinian refugees.
