IDF: Death of Palestinian Woman Caused by Atropine Overdose at Ramallah Hospital
(Ynet News) Hanan Greenberg - An IDF investigation into the death of Palestinian woman Jawaher Abu-Rahma two weeks ago in Bilin determined Wednesday that she died from an overdose of atropine administered at the hospital in Ramallah. According to the investigation, Abu-Rahma hadn't even participated in the Bilin protest. An examination of her medical records confirmed that the young woman had died as a result of faulty medical care in the hospital and not from the crowd dispersal methods used by the IDF soldiers. The investigation revealed that the Palestinian medical team hadn't properly diagnosed her case, and thought that she needed to receive large amounts of atropine. Had she received a smaller dose, her life would have been saved.
