Palestinian woman succumbs to wounds sustained by Israeli gunfire in Jenin 2.5 years ago

JENIN, April 21 (YPA) – A woman from Jenin refugee camp died Tuesday morning from injuries she sustained nearly two and a half years ago.

According to Palestinian sources, Raja Awais, 45, died at Ibn Sina Hospital from shrapnel wounds to the brain.

Awais was injured in 2023 during an Israeli raid on Jenin refugee camp. Israeli soldiers blew up the door of her house during the raid, causing shrapnel wounds to her head and damaging her brain cells. She had been in a coma ever since, until her death was announced this morning.

Since October 2023, 1,186 people have been killed in the West Bank, while 9,816 others have been injured as a result of the ongoing Israeli offensive, particularly in camps and cities in the northern West Bank.

The West Bank has also witnessed 238,048 violations carried out by Israeli forces and settlers since October 2023.
