They Let Babies Die, Don't They?

[delad]

B'Tselem is reporting that yet another Palestinian baby was born dead at a checkpoint because the mother was not allowed to go through by the soldiers.

The pain got worse. I felt as if I was going to give birth any moment. Now and then, the soldiers came over to the car and looked at me lying in the back seat. I was really worried about the fetus, and couldn’t stop thinking that I’d have to give birth in the car while the soldiers watched.

I don’t remember exactly what happened then, but when the medics arrived, they picked me up with the car seat and put me in the ambulance. I didn’t feel the baby moving any more and realized he was dead. The medics took away the dead baby and took me to the hospital. My husband and mother-in-law came with me in the ambulance. At the hospital, the doctors operated on me to clean my uterus. They discharged me the next day.

ps sorry, can't believe i didn't add a link to this yesterday. will i get in trouble for posting it again with the link this time?

Comment; I feel it's necessary to highlight abuses such as these considering how little media coverage this gets in comparison to the guys who go on rampages in vehicles in Jerusalem.
