Nael al Kurdi was a student by day and sold falafel at night. When he was diagnosed with cancer, he traveled from Gaza to Egypt for treatment. But once the blockade was put in place, even though Nael petitioned the Israeli authorities repeatedly, he was not allowed to leave Gaza. He died as a result - he was only 21.

Please allow Palestinians the right to medical care. Too many innocents are suffering and dying. How can you live with that?! |

Surely the creation of a man-made human rights and humanitarian disaster cannot be the solution to Israel's security needs. |
