Palestinian medical sources reported on Thursday that a 22-year-old Palestinian patient from Gaza, who was wounded in an Israeli offensive in 2003, died of health complications and kidney failure.
The patient, Abdul-Rahman Tayyim, 22, was seriously wounded when the Israeli Air Force fired missiles into the Al Nusseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza.
The army fired a missile at a civilian vehicle in the camp; the missile hit the side of the vehicle causing minimum damage but as the residents gathered in the area, the army fired another missile at the vehicle.
Seven Palestinians, including a 12-year-old child, were killed and at least 50 were wounded, including Abdul-Rahman and his brother.
Abdul-Rahman became paralyzed and developed several serious health issues, including a kidney infection.
He became unable to receive the needed medical help due to the ongoing Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip.
