BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) -- A young woman injured during Israel's war on the Gaza Strip died on Sunday due to complications from longstanding injuries.

Kamal Abu Jalala told Ma'an that his daughter Hanin had been receiving treatment in Jerusalem since being injured in Operation Cast Lead.

Hanin went into a coma after surgery 12 days ago and was pronounced dead on Sunday. Her body will be taken to al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza for burial.

Israel launched an unprecedented three week war on the Gaza Strip on Dec. 27, 2008.

Nearly 1,400 Palestinians were killed in the military assault, including over 300 children. The majority of those killed were civilians and over 5,000 people were wounded.
