Pisa (Quds News Network)- Italian doctors have questioned Israel’s account of the death of 20-year-old Palestinian Marah Abu Zuhri. She was evacuated from Gaza on a humanitarian flight organized by the Italian government but died in Pisa less than 24 hours after arriving at Santa Chiara Hospital. Israeli authorities claimed Marah died from severe leukemia. They rejected suggestions that malnutrition contributed to her death. Italian doctors, however, found no evidence of leukemia, reported La Nazione. Professor Sara Galimberti, director of Hematology at Santa Chiara, said Marah arrived extremely weak and bedridden for a long period. “We started therapy for leukemia that night,” Galimberti said. “When test results arrived, we stopped treatment because leukemia was not confirmed.” Doctors provided high-calorie nutrition and transfusions, but Marah went into acute respiratory failure and suffered cardiac arrest. No autopsy was performed, following the family’s religious wishes. The hospital said this decision did not change the facts of the case. The body remains at the Legal Medicine department, where authorities may decide on a forensic autopsy. Italian specialists stress that long-term malnutrition likely played a role in Marah’s death. Marah’s death comes amid ongoing attacks on Gaza’s healthcare system. Last March, the Israeli military targeted the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, Gaza’s only cancer treatment center. Videos show explosives destroying parts of the hospital and a nearby medical school. Medical supplies remain blocked due to Israel’s siege. Hospitals and clinics struggle as staff face constant danger. Doctors warn the health system in Gaza could collapse entirely if Israel’s attacks and blockades continue.
