GAZA, (PIC)-- A Palestinian female infant called Nansi Sa'eed was proclaimed dead on Sunday after the deterioration of her health as a result of inhaling toxic gas emitted from white phosphorous fired by Israel during its recent war on the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian medical sources added that the six-month-old baby died of severe complications in her lungs and respiratory problems.

Meanwhile, a number of nuclear energy experts visited the Egyptian town of Rafah and the border areas with Gaza to examine and measure the rate of radiation after Israel reportedly used depleted uranium during its shelling of the areas near Egypt.

The experts fear that if the soil was contaminated by radiation resulting from phosphorous bombs and depleted uranium, the people there would be vulnerable to cancer and other deadly diseases.

The impact of radiation continues for years in the soil and plants as well as it threatens the fertility of humans and leads to the birth of deformed and ill children.
