Israeli court bars five-year-old Palestinian boy from life-saving treatment due to Gaza listing: report

Israeli court has rejected a petition seeking life-saving treatment for a five- year-old Palestinian boy suffering from aggressive cancer disease, Al Jazeera reported, citing Israel’s Haaretz newspaper.

It said the petition sought to facilitate the transfer of the boy, who lives in Ramallah, to Tel Hashomer Hospital near Tel Aviv for treatment.

“I have lost my last hope,” the boy’s mother, whose father died of cancer three years ago, told Haaretz. –Agencies
