He was supposed to travel to Jordan to get this device, however, he was forbidden by Egyptian officials from leaving the Gaza Strip via Rafah Border Crossing.He then had a heart attack, and died.
Hundreds of Palestinian patients have died because of the siege imposed by the Israeli Occupation on the Gaza Strip and its crossings since 2007.
