5,389 Palestinians Dead In 2nd Intifada

From Press TV:

Eight years since the start of the al-Aqsa Intifada, Israel has killed 5,389 Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.

Marking the start of the second Intifada (uprising), two local Palestinian organizations, Al-Haq for Legal and Human Rights, and the Health Action Committee held a press conference in Ramallah on Saturday.

During the conference the groups outlined Palestinian casualties since the second "popular uprising."

Of the 5,389 killed by Israeli forces, they said, 194 were women and 995 children. During the same time 135 Palestinian patients died at 630 Israeli military checkpoints throughout the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.

The groups said that 32,270 Palestinians were injured over the last eight years, and 3,530 of those injured have suffered permanent handicaps, and at least 220 Palestinians have died waiting for treatment abroad.
