Detainees and Ex-detainees Committee received on Saturday a medical report on the death of Palestinian prisoner Mohammad al-Jallad who died on February 10 2017 in Israeli Beilinson Hospital where he was receiving treatment after being shot and wounded on November 09 2016 by Israeli forces.
The report shows that the direct cause of death was because his lungs were filled with air and had instability of bio markers. As he had a gunshot wound he had disintegration of the liver rupture in large intestine from the right injury of the right kidney and leaking from the intestines into the abdominal cavity.
It also shows that he depended on artificial breathing and was infected with lymph gland cancer. the reasons for the bleeding he repeatedly suffered were not mentioned.
Medical examinations were conducted for his gallbladder on the same day of his death. No clarification was made whether there was any direct or indirect relation between those tests and the cause of death the report added.
Head of Detainees and Ex-detainees Committee Issa Qaraqe said that Israeli authorities insisting on continuing the detention of Jallad in full disregard to his health condition was a decision to kill him.
The medical report indicates medical negligence that led to the accumulation of air in his lungs which is the main cause of his death Qaraqe pointed out. He opined that the two-day delay in announcing his death news raises big questions and indicates mysterious conditions that Israeli doctors tried to hide.
