days we won 1st ed back in 2013 years after israel began its blockade of the gaza strip the palestinians living in the tight confines of an enclave starved of adequate medical resources a simple thing like the birth of a new child can become a matter of life and death when i can't get access to the treatment by baby or mother needs i was there is k.c. kaufman told the story of one such family in his very personal film born in gaza. this is a society at the mercy of a political. family and. this is the

story of one young family in a situation that is beyond their control. the expectation of a new baby when it's a feeling of excitement and apprehension that all parents experience but for assad. the pregnancy of this 2nd child means much more. i 1st met amal in a side i must loom one year ago at a children's hospital in gaza city. you will get a lot of them. in this story of their 1st child is one that i will never forget. and you know.

this is their 1st child. when he was 19 months old he was born with 2 holes in his heart in his parents' lives were dedicated to his care. and then they shot the thought. that busy. oh how did this whole. saga show.

this condition could have been fixed by routine surgery but israel's siege on the gaza strip has crippled the medical system here. these doctors don't have the training or equipment to perform the necessary operation. to put that on. them with them. but gaza is blocked off from the outside world and he does never made it back to israel for his heart operation. his parents say their request to cross the border was turned down 6 times because his case was never considered an emergency.

but then foetuses condition started to quickly deteriorate. his doctors here couldn't help him anymore the only solution was to send him to an advanced hospital in israel in now it was urgent i mean if you can take him to this little bit up. in his really hospital except to the doctors request in a sub started to receive time to get his son out of gaza. i'll get the you're going to fix and get what it is. i. don't mind that.

the flu. shots will sort of stop until. the sort of the impetus for the push. to mean that. you should know that that's the likelihood of that i'm going to lose it i love my job and look i want to show the sort of us the old you. know going to. undermine the mission that it was on the wall above the age of the souls of little by then. the fall. i'm all about the new thought so i'll snip the bottom and then i'd better get them to get their argument about the height. of the clock down to one. and going to $100.00.

of us. i mean in my head. i think it's a love. letter. but this you know i've got it down but the other one is all the i mean all of dialogical so long as that's the dollars that's about all of. you. will do. well on those of the 100 michelmore so that. the head of the house. almost started to prepare for the trip to israel

she was ready to travel alone with her son only one person is allowed to accompany a child patient. it's another rule of the system. has 7 hopefully and i mean i don't how much can one lot of her she was has the big one you are something that can last as a little damage and how many on the jumbo we have common have a son made it out on the search for bin much yes. and i can nothing handle a woman is this fine for the most thoughtful if i don't know what that i will side and some light of the darkness and i. will. just. as i'm always going back to the hospital to meet her son for the trip to the border. she received an urgent call and was told there was a complication. free

no. 00. 0 that was. enough of a. little. holiday doctor in the. most fun little place and i was right oh yes well you. got to. let me. just. tell you about.

how much of what i want to talk of that didn't. fit drive to the hospital in israel would have only taken an hour. but after nearly 3 hours of obstacles and delays foetuses journey never began. the tragedy of his parents having been captured on camera was soon on the evening news. oily by the mold wire copy if you haven't met

him in medina tell us or. that of the 50 of us what looked at how some colorful kid was at the 2nd has. a look at the metal if you can. and i worry that the moment with likely been here for all my. holiday letters you'd look at the metadata. and you can be met or they can. let you show had them in we at the fathers but the man. in the. language issuing out of them. i just don't. know but man. i was. in the house.

when i. i think to. say that they live at the. end of the. earth but the meaning upon the love lives with us from the years it done and. done and. the boys in the winter who follow something a. little in the sun could be on one of them with. us on the last line can sit on the bus with. a lie and sorrow and the

love that i was standing at letting in in them all over what i love their hate 1st and get. over that hurdle for though i don't know how to do i have a little. while. as imo enters her final stage of pregnancy i decide to go to israel. i want to meet the doctor who would have operated on the year before. this border keeps the palestinians inside gaza. and it's what stood between feet and his chance at life. only a few 100 meters separate gaza in israel but they are worlds apart the

haves and the have nots. in israel there is a vibrancy and sense of potential that you can only find in a society that determines its own future. and. it only takes me an hour to drive from gaza to the wolfson medical center on the outskirts of tel aviv. this is where he was supposed to have his surgery one year ago. and this is the cardiologist who was waiting for him. doctor to mere operates on children from all over the world in today for young patients from gaza i will help children get through. the we have about the system still have

to operate. in order to prevent. bad things to happen. so that's why i accept. so much of. we save lives so. if you're through when you kill you or. if you save lives. the powerful in the same the same but maybe it's something that gives breaks you you take your strengths from whatever you can do. i don't play with politics i have my own political view but this is private really into this type of activity. physicians. to treat people the people who are sick. but not everybody in israel's medical field stays out of politics

run your room in his colleagues help palestinian patients get access to the treatment they need since israel controls the only gate to full palestinians who 6 ok on available it has a responsibility to lead them out his mission flame rise recorded 14 cases of death related and denied access and all these cases are recorded after the application was submitted to do israel your forty's but the israeli army main concern is security in colonel moshe levy comes up with a different fact to defend the policy of closure towards the gaza strip. for from 5. quest that we received. every day we approved so i think that the this is 80 percent from the requirements from the

political side we provided you can see in the numbers of people who are denial nearly 25 percent of the patient to exit for apply for exit permit deny due to rejection or delays our challenge is how to create a balance between the security needs and between the civilian needs this is the main issue this is the main challenge over there is where the policy in this. granting the health right in venture only in the long term make my society a better place to live in and for that i thing i do my best to help posting and not only because. it is because there are human beings and they must enjoy it but also because it is an israeli i feel responsibility for them. it's. a question. it's 5 in the morning in gaza city in the our muslim family

is that the public hospital. i'm all has just gone into labor and she's heading with her mother in law to the maternity ward for women only. assad has been waiting for 8 and a half hours. enough time for the memory of his 1st child's illness to creep back into his mind. but this time there are no complications. to. the chance to shoot. some of them down the elite yeah it was made to bring them to

eat eat food. happyness has returned to this household. the new baby boy is in perfect health. and as a way to honor their 1st son i'm all in a side to side to also name their 2nd son feed. us it was. the past 3 years of family life were filled with anxiety and sadness. but now with a sense of relief she looks forward to a happy future. with diego but absurd or are with those who forget who might argue with them in their lives that have been my civilization. that is the head of what i

want to be. music to we should look at them and they mean and the among them cities have. they an arc that lay on war module when the had there not and not offer now has the module been the on going faster. had the if it has the. life goes on in gaza. but there are thousands of people who have been denied medical treatment and left without adequate care.

the blockade of the gaza strip is still firmly in place. in the until the political situation changes. these patients will be waiting in struggling. for one of the most basic rights. you would hope the situation would have improved for those facing serious medical issues in gaza that is a question for robin told but at medical aid for palestinians an organization working to ensure equitable access to health care in gaza rohan thank you for joining us as we look to update this film and find out what's happened since then are you aware of any efforts 5 israelis to make it

a bit easier have there been any developments now the situation actually worse than it was that so i think we can say that it's clearly going to slide right down to the point that i think 7 years ago we might have been talking about roughly 20 percent of its being either tonight or delight now i mean last year the average right was that of tonight or tonight actually reaching the point in december where the majority. so i think it was about 60 percent of the denied or delayed and every denial is obviously a denial of access to cabot also delays i mean people usually find out whether they've been successful or not the evening before they do to travel so if you don't hear or you don't get a response that effectively means you miss your appointment and you can't get a cab ok so what do you take me through the process then of getting through those checkpoints who needs to be accompanying a child how it all works there's a process of applying for the permit which requires

a lot of documentation it all has to be submitted at least 10 days before you were due to travel you might either as the patient even as children or as the company are going with the child because to a security interview which might determine whether they're going to get a permit to get out and then it's a waiting game and in the majority of cases when a child is going to treatment they'll need someone to go with them to take care of them and provide support inside hospital. but largely the restrictions that are placed mean that anybody who is between $855.00 is unlikely to be able to get a permit that means that children's usually that parent within that age range in fact only about 6 percent of gaza's population over the age of 55 this is because grandparents but they're finding it increasingly difficult to get to get these permits to accompany children i've actually got one of your in for graphics here to show our viewers online here we're talking about exiting gaza who can get a permit and that graph right at the bottom showing that decline in approval rates

i mean it's one thing that it has declined why has it declined quite so much in that last year i mean down from 80 percent to 50 by the looks of this graph we're talking about a situation of 50 years of occupation in 10 years of this book 8 inclosure and over that period of time we've seen that it's more and more difficult for patients to be able to get to care israel is still the occupying power in gaza and it has a legal responsibility and obligation under the 4th geneva convention to ensure that the population that that it occupies have adequate access to medical care but ultimately it's important we grapple with the big issues medical care and access to medical care and those restriction to movement part and parcel of a wider problem and that wider problem is a decade of blockade and i mean we can see the impact on that job not just in terms of the immediate ability of people to get out to kat but also their ability to access care inside gaza i mean roughly at any given time 25 percent of medicines are at 0 stock inside gaza these are essential medicines chemotherapy medicines you

know basic pain medications because the economy situation inside gaza now is so serious this perpetual crisis that the ministry of health conscious of them on the shelves run tolbert from medical aid for palestinians we thank you very much for joining us and we want. the clues the faintest the father son jumped the smith in this last from move in the palace with lots. of noise now in the name and he thought as we know that one was a. language issue not some of them and wasn't like that so i mustn't.
