Woman Loses Fetus on Israeli Military Checkpoint

CROSSFIREARABIA – A Palestinian lady from the Qaryout village, south Nablus, loses fetus because the Israeli army refused to let an ambulance pass the Awarta military checkpoint, Monday, leading to the hospital. The ambulance crew were taken for questioning, leaving the lady on her own at the ambulance after herself being searched. The lady was sixth-month pregnant and was hemorrhaging. The ambulancemen also added that the soldiers forced them to turn off the ignition which led to the stoppage of the aiding equipment inside the vehicle. The ambulance was stopped for at least half-hour before being allowed to pass the military-checkpoint according to the Palestine Information Center.
