More details from petition creator

Palestinians suffering serious illnesses have long travelled from Gaza to nearby Israeli hospitals for treatments unavailable at facilities in the territory.

However,in June Israel has tightened border restrictions, so hundreds cannot get the care that could save lives.

29 patients had died in the past six months because of this. Hundreds other sick Gazans, of whom ill patients suffering illnesses such as cancer or chronic kidney failure, have failed to be granted permission.
