According to a report by MINA Contributors in Gaza, Khaleda’s daughter, Suha, died of a heart attack on Sunday.

According to lawyer Hanan Al-Khatib, who visited him Khaleda on Monday said his party had submitted a request to the Israeli prison administration to allow the mother to attend her daughter’s funeral and contact her family.

However, he said the occupation prison authorities said they would respond to the request as soon as possible.

Hanan said many efforts were being made by members of the Knesset and several institutions and activists to pressure the occupation authorities to allow Khaleda to attend her daughter’s funeral. (L-K-G/RE1)
