			URGENT 
PETITION to END THE HEALTH CRISIS IN GAZA 
Since Israeli government 
declared Gaza as "hostile entity" on 19th September 2007,Israel blocks 
delivery of essential medicines to Gaza Strip and doesn't allow Palestinian 
patients to go outside of Gaza for urgent treatment. 
The United Nations, The 
World Health Organisation and Physicians forHuman Rights have condemned 
Israel for this situation, but Israeli government is still continue to its 
policy and Palestinian patients are slowly dying in front of the 
world. 
All the victims of this humanitarian crisis are innocent civilians, 
and many of them are children. For example in 14th November 2007, 6 months old Palestinian baby Sina al-Hajj died because Israeli government didn't 
allow her to cross Gaza border for geting treatment. Palestinian MP Jamal Al 
Khudari said now there are more than a thousand Palestinian patients in 
urgent need of treatment who are not allowed to leave Gaza. 
Please sign this 
petition to call the United Nations and the Israeli government to allow the 
Palestinian patients having treatment outside 
of Gaza:http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/save-gaza
