Palestinian infant dies after inhaling tear gas fired by IOF

Friday 7-July-2017

An eighteen-month-old Palestinian infant Abdurrahman al-Barghouthi from Aboud town north of Ramallah city was pronounced dead on Friday evening due to inhaling tear gas fired by Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) two months ago.

IOF soldiers showered the home of the infant’s family with tear gas grenades and banned ambulances from approaching those who were suffering from suffocation.

The father of the slain infant had to take his son to the hospital on foot for a long distance. He was transferred later on to Israeli Hadassah hospital due to the seriousness of his health condition.

The only 1.5-year-old toddler was transferred again to Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah where he was declared dead.
