Tags: Gaza 
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for December 31, 2007.

According to Physicians for Human Rights, the defense establishment is preventing critically ill Gazans from entering Israel for medical treatment.

Since Israel labeled the Gaza Strip a hostile entity in September, there has been a steep decline in the number of permits issued to the ill.

Of 551 requests for urgent medical treatment submitted, only 32 were approved. 314 requests were never answered.
