Palestinians: Ailing woman dies after IDF denies her ambulance

A Palestinian woman who was refused access to an ambulance at an Israel
Defense Forces checkpoint died in her village in the West Bank on
Thursday, a Palestinian doctor and relatives said. 
Local witnesses said the husband of Fawziya Qabb pleaded with soldiers at
the Jarushiya checkpoint near the town of Tul Karm to let his wife get to
an ambulance waiting to take her to a Palestinian hospital but they
ignored him. 
An IDF source said the soldiers at the checkpoint were unaware of the
woman's circumstances because her family did not inform the local military
coordination office for humanitarian cases of the ambulance's arrival. 
 
 
"If we had been made aware of the situation a path could have been cleared
for the ambulance through heavy traffic in the area which was caused by a
high alert around Tul Karm," the source, speaking on condition of
anonymity, told Reuters. 
The source said that troops had sealed off the area in the northern West
Bank as they feared a possible attack by militants. 
Local witnesses and Palestinian security sources said the Israeli
heightened state of alert had forced thousands of residents to wait at
checkpoints in the pouring rain. 
Qabb's relatives from the village of Deir al-Ghosoon close to Tul Karm
said they called the ambulance but soldiers did not allow it through the
checkpoint to pick up the 67-year-old. 
"I asked the officer to let us cross but he refused," husband Mahmoud
Yousef Qabb said. 
Mahmoud said that after failing to persuade the soldiers for 20 minutes,
he took his ailing wife back to the village doctor who failed in his
efforts to save her life. 
"She had suffered a stroke and needed urgent hospital attention. She might
have lived if she had reached hospital," village doctor Abdel-Fattah
al-Darak said. 
Qabb said his wife, a heart patient, was in good condition after being
discharged from hospital in Tul Karm earlier on Thursday. 
Human rights groups say they have recorded several cases of Palestinian
patients who have died because of delays at IDF checkpoints since the
start of the Palestinian uprising in 2000. 
Israel says it allows humanitarian cases through the checkpoints. 
Palestinians and rights groups say the checkpoints are collective
punishment. Israel says they are needed to protect its citizens against
Palestinian suicide bombers.
