GAZA, (PIC)– Hamas movement denounced the Israeli occupation authorities for retaining prisoner Maysara Abu Hamdiya in jail despite developing cancer.
Hamas said in a statement on Friday that the IOA insistence on retaining Abu Hamdiya behind bars despite his rapidly deteriorating condition meant it was torturing and assassinating him.
It demanded the immediate release of Abu Hamdiya to enable him receive proper treatment and held the IOA fully responsible for his life.
Hamas called on the Palestinian masses to organize rallies in support of Abu Hamdiya and hunger strikers in Israeli occupation jails.
The movement asked all human rights groups and international organizations to save the life of Abu Hamdiya and all other patient and hunger striking prisoners. It also called on the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the world community to pressure the Israeli government into releasing all Palestinian prisoners

Gaza Health Care in Crisis – January 2012 – Photography |
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”.

Note occpal | As per June 3, 2012 : 204 types of medication and 218 types of medical consumables are depleted completely. 200 others are on their way to depletion. Including zero stock of Thalassamia and Cancer medications are not available.
The fuel crisis prevents normal operation of nurseries, ICU & heart units and the emergency generators will encounter problems to face normal surgery schedules. Due to blackouts of power, also sewerage, water pumps and all operating on power shuts down which poses extra health risks which is unacceptable.
The international community though, is not pressuring Israel though about it’s killing by proxy policies which causes 1.7 million people in Gaza now to be effectively in a state of emergency and severe deprivation.
