AhlulBayt News Agency - Israeli Occupation Authority (IOA) cut the services of national and health insurances of over 50 Jerusalemite sit-inners including children and elderly people.
The Jerusalemite woman Aydah al-Masri, one of the blacklisted sit-inners by Israeli forces and barred from entering the Aqsa Mosque, told the Palestine Center News reporter that Israeli authorities cancelled her and her husband’s national and health insurances despite that her husband is a diabetes patient.
“They justified that by claiming that we do not reside in Jerusalem and asked us for official documents that prove paying of taxes and bills dating back to very long years,” Masri said.
Another blacklisted Jerusalemite woman, Dalal al-Hashlamoun, told the PIC that Israeli forces stopped her national and health insurance despite paying all of the taxes and bills.
She added that the Israeli authorities ordered her lawyer to pay a retroactive payment estimated at 79 thousand shekels for the insurance until the present day.
“The Israeli insurance company has been procrastinating for two months regardless of submitting all needed documents”, she pointed out.
The cut of insurance services affected the Jerusalemite families badly as there are elderly people with the need of regular medical follow up for chronic diseases in addition to the need of others to undergo unaffordable surgeries, the families underlined.
