Long-distance runner and athletics coach Majed Abu Maraheel was the first Palestinian to compete in the Olympics and was the flag bearer at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
He has passed away due to lack of access to medical treatment caused by the ongoing israeli-imposed siege on Gaza.
Paris Olympics are in a month from now and yet, the apartheid entity will be allowed to compete because the International Olympics Committee willfully ignores the entity's crimes in Gaza and against their fellow athletes.
