CROSSFIREARABIA – A 30-year-old Palestinian woman died because Israeli soldiers wouldn’t allow an ambulance to pass at an electronic checkpoint leading to the village of Sinjil which is located north-east of Ramallah. According to Sinjil Mayor Mutaz Tawafsha the ambulance had to wait more than 30 minutes before it was allowed to pass the checkpoint by which time, Sujood Fuqhaa, who had suffered from a heartache, died. Tawafsha said in such cases time is of the essence and young mother of two, could have been taken to hospital and treated if the ambulance had not been stopped by the Israelis, blaming the iron security checkpoints for the continual deaths of the people of Sinjil. Her death comes at a town when Sinjil was subjected to a raid by 100 Israeli settlers recently according to local Palestinian sources. The settlers fired arms on the local people and set fire to their crops. This is just the latest for Sanjil is continually raided under the protection of the Israeli army according to the Palestine Information Center.
