Tubas – Ma'an – A diabetic Palestinian died on Saturday after being prevented from crossing the Al-Hamra military checkpoint into the Jordan Valley on Saturday.
Mohammad Damen Abed Al-Karim E'lieyat, 62, from the village of Dir Abu Da'eef in Jenin was en route to the Jordan Valley but was barred from transit. Ma'an's correspondent said E'lieyat made several attempts to cross but was turned back by Israeli authorities who said that he was unable to pass because he held French citizenship.
E'lieyat, who suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure, was eventually allowed to pass after several hours, but suffered a heart attack in a taxi.
Naser Al-A'nani from the Jericho Governmental Hospital said E'lieyat was pronounced dead upon arrival after suffering a "severe" heart attack.
An Israeli military spokesman said a complaint was lodged with the Jericho DCO following E'lieyat's death and is currently being looked into.
