Fatma Jalal al Masri, 19-month-old, died after being denied access to a hospital outside Gaza by Israeli authorities, according to medical sources at the European hospital in Gaza.
Fatma was diagnosed with a ventricular septal defect in 2021. Despite having obtained a medical referral from the Palestinian Ministry of Health and confirming three hospital appointments at Al Makassed Hospital in Jerusalem, Israeli authorities denied Fatma the requisite exit permit to travel to Jerusalem for the appointments, according to Al Mezan Center for Human Rights.
