Gaza siege toll reaches 203
Gaza, 2008 July 9, QODSNA
The spokesman of the Popular Committee against the Israeli Siege on Gaza, Rami Abedah, said another Palestinian patient have died on Tuesday due to the ongoing Zionist regime's siege.
Hassan Mohammad Eisa, 59, had applied to leave Gaza for medical care but the Israeli army rejected his request. The Israeli army has placed the Palestinian coastal region under total siege in June 2007.
Despite of the truce hold between Gaza-based government and Zionist regime, the number of the Palestinian patients who died because of Israel's refusal to allow them medical care outside the Gaza Strip has now reached 203 according to the Popular Committee against the Israeli Siege on Gaza.
