54 patients died waiting for Israel to let them out of Gaza | The Electronic Intifada: One of them was Faten Ahmed, a 26-year-old with a rare form of cancer. She died in August while awaiting an Israeli permit to travel for chemotherapy and radiotherapy not available in Gaza.

She had previously missed eight hospital appointments after Israeli “security approval” was delayed or denied, according to the World Health Organization.

Overall, 46 of those who died last year waiting for permits were cancer patients.
