ISRAELI authorities blocked a Palestinian leukaemia patient from receiving emergency treatment on at least nine occasions this year, the World Health Organisation said in its annual report on barriers to healthcare in the occupied territories.
According to Kafa, a 55-year-old woman from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, Israeli authorities only allowed her to leave the besieged territory once to receive vital hospital treatment.
“I submitted 10 permit applications to Israeli authorities to cross Erez to reach treatment, but they only approved one of my applications, she said, referring to the sole border crossing between Gaza and Israel.
Kafa was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia in August 2018 and underwent chemotherapy at the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Younis. After a relapse, she was referred to Istishari Hospital in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
