IOA refuses to allow travel for treatment for MP Beitawi

[ PIC 14/03/2012 – 11:17 AM ]

NABLUS, (PIC)– The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) has refused to allow the travel of MP Hamed Al-Beitawi to Jordan for badly needed medical treatment, local sources said.

The sources told the PIC reporter that Beitawi, 70, was in need of urgent open heart surgery and could not do it in the West Bank due to his diabetic status.

They said that the IOA categorically rejected his travel despite the intervention of human rights groups in view of his rapidly deteriorating health condition.

The IOA only allowed Beitawi’s treatment in occupied Jerusalem in the company of only one family member.

Medical sources said that the health condition of Beitawi, who has been admitted into Rafidia hospital weeks ago, was unstable and worsening day by day which diminishes any success for his surgery in the event of further delay.

Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention clearly establish that Israel, as the occupying power, not only has a duty to ensure medical supplies reach hospitals in the OPT, but to ensure and maintain the services of the hospitals too. As High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions, other states not only have a moral duty but also a legal obligation to ensure Israel abides by its commitments to the protected population of the OPT.

UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, As a States Party to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Israel is obliged under Article 24 of the treaty to recognise the right of every child under its effective jurisdiction “to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health and to facilities for the treatment of illness and rehabilitation of health. States Parties shall strive to ensure that no child is deprived of his or her right of access to such health care services”.

VERY IMPORTANT & SHOCKING REPORT ABOUT EFFECTS FOR HEALTH BY POLICIES & DISCRIMINATION OF MEDICAL CARE & ACCESS TO CARE.



While in the horrible holocaust, 1 in 6, so 1 million people died of the Nazi but exactly similar deliberate deprivation, Israel is doing exactly the same to Palestinians. Research (see link below) showed the annual deathrate by violent & passive aggression is about 5000 deaths a year. Called Avoidable mortality or Excess Death.



For the sake of children and ill people in Palestine, share this post as wide as you can and keep sharing it. Health is no choice for many, right to medical care is a Human Right. Infringement of such is a passive form of aggression which policies Israel deliberately deploys with the intention to ethnic cleanse.


SHARING = CARING!
