From January to June, the World Health Organization documented 50 cases of delays in medical care to Palestinians in the West Bank.
When the ambulance reached the checkpoint, al-Qaryuti drove to the front of the line, and recorded a video in which he states, “[We’re] at Awarta checkpoint.
Human Rights Watch reviewed the video, timestamped 7:33 a.m.Two Israeli soldiers ordered al-Qaryuti to turn off the ambulance, he said.
