QuoteThe ongoing Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip has led to the death of a sick four-month-old Palestinian infant at a hospital in the area.
The Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, reported that Naseem al-Biok, 4 months old, died on Wednesday at a local hospital in Gaza.
Al-Biok died when the Israeli authorities barred his transfer to a specialized hospital outside the Gaza Strip.
Physicians attempted to transfer him abroad for medical treatment as the Israeli siege emptied Gaza hospitals from the needed medical equipment and medications, International Middle East Media Center reported.
Currently, there are dozens of patients who suffered from serious illnesses and are facing death due to the unjust siege.
A total of 140 patients died due to the siege, most of the casualties were children and elderly.
