• Arafat to Leave Compound for Medical Care in Paris ; Palestinian Leader's Departure May Herald Great Change

RAMALLAH, West Bank An ailing Yasser Arafat too weak to stand, unable to hold down food and spending most of Thursday sleeping agreed to leave his battered West Bank compound for the first time in more than two years and fly to Paris for urgent medical treatment. The 75-year-old Palestinian leader's planned departure today, a decade after he arrived in the West Bank with the promise of statehood, could mark the end of an era. Arafat, who hoarded power and declined to groom a successor, leaves behind a people in disarray.

• Palestinian Health Care Crumbling: ; 'Human Crisis' Looms, Medical Workers Warn

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - The shelves at Shifa Hospital's pharmacy are half empty. A shortage of anesthesia means surgeons can do only emergency operations. The kidney unit has cut back on dialysis because it's low on filters, and four of the unit's patients have died from a lack of medicine, officials say. The West's economic boycott of the Hamas-led regime has brought the perpetually strained Palestinian health care system to the brink of disaster, international aid workers and government officials say. They warn of an epidemic of preventable deaths if money is not found soon.

Although Israel has begun to allow limited medical supplies into Gaza, the need far outweighs the availability while hospitals remain understaffed and ill-supplied.

Meanwhile, Israel continues its strangling siege of Gaza. This latest stage of Israel's two-year embargo on Gaza began in late October after Israel declared the Strip a "hostile entity" and cut fuel supplies to Gaza. Israel views restricting fuel and electricity to Gaza as a way to pressure Palestinian armed groups to stop their rocket and suicide attacks," HRW Middle East director Joe Stork said in the statement. "But the cuts are seriously affecting civilians who have nothing to do with these armed groups, and that violates a fundamental principle of the laws of war.
