Hamas preventing 'Palestinians' from accessing medical care

During Operation Cast Lead, Hamas prevented sick and wounded 'Palestinians' from accessing medical care in Egypt.

On Monday, I reported that Israel had set up a field hospital at the Erez crossing point between Israel and the Gaza Strip. Now, with Operation Cast Lead ended, Hamas is refusing to let 'Palestinians' access the field hospital.
"I spent the whole day there [Monday] and not one person came to us for help," said one doctor, who preferred to remain anonymous. "The people there are scared, scared of us and scared of Hamas."

He continued: "The clinic is an amazing thing but I can't blame them for not wanting to come to us. It is just very frustrating." [Well, I can. What kind of fool doesn't seek medical assistance when they need it? CiJ]

A spokesman for Magen David Adom (MDA), which is operating the clinic in cooperation with the Welfare and Social Services Ministry and the Health Ministry said that so far only seven Palestinian children with cancer had arrived at the center for treatment. All had been released, he said.

Situated at the Erez terminal, the clinic is a humanitarian gesture by Israel following the 22-day operation in Gaza. Speaking at its inauguration on Sunday, government officials said that the clinic would accept all patients and that the more serious cases would be referred to Israeli hospitals.

...

The facility is staffed with emergency specialists, pediatricians, family physicians, gynecologists/obstetricians, trauma experts, surgeons, orthopedists, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists and other experts.

Tony Laurance, acting head of the World Health Organization's office in Gaza and the West Bank, told The Jerusalem Post earlier this week that he doubted that Palestinians would be allowed by their leaders to access the clinic.
Of course their 'leaders' won't allow them to access the clinic. After all, they have gone out of their way to provide such great medical care in Gaza....

They hate the Jews more than they love their own children. That is why Arab children will continue to die... not that Hamas cares about their future and they're only fit to be human shields and to blow themselves up among the Jews when they grow up. This is the Hamas the world fought to so urgently to save from annihilation.

They are right not to go to the hospital, clinic. If I was one of them I also wouldn't go not after that. I am jewish and Zionist.
For many of them, it's soul destroying. There is no point going to hospital to be treated if it kills you inside. This world is sickeningly sterile. Israel killed the wrong soldiers. I saw the pictures of the police force they were not Hamas terrorists. They were good people like the old Zionists. I would never offer help to someone if it's going to kill them to accept it. On the other hand Israel did not intentionally kill civilians. Israel are isolated so they don't know the developments in Gaza - that the good people are mixing with the Hamas and they made many mistakes. I also think there are some rogue elements in the army. The people can't see what's coming to them. Hamas just love the dead people. They send out a mixture of good people and criminals to be killed. They try to ensure some good people get killed for their propaganda machine. They are probably threatening to shoot people if they go to the hospital
