The Israeli authorities are preventing critically ill Palestinians in the Gaza Strip from leaving in order to access treatment which cannot be obtained in Gaza. Nufuz Husni, Muhammad al-Hurani, Rami Al-Arouqi, Karima Abu Dalal, Rami al-Masri, and Sameer Taleb and at least nine others, all with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses, have been denied permission to access potentially life-saving treatment outside Gaza in the last few weeks.\r\n
