Palestinian man, protesting deplorable conditions in Gaza, dies after self-immolation

By: Common Dreams, September 3, 2012 The father of 18-year-old Mohamed Abu Nada, who died on Sunday in the Gaza strip following severe injuries suffered after he set himself on fire late last week, said the young man did so to protest the deplorable conditions he and his family experienced living under economic and military blockade as Palestinians. According to the Guardian, the family live in al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza City, explaining that those in the camp "are generally among the poorest in Gaza."
