Palestinian severely wounded in clashes dies in Al-Makassad hospital

Palestinian news outlets report that a Palestinian teenager severely wounded in Friday's clashes died from his wounds in the Al-Makassed hospital in East Jerusalem. 

Mohammed Hassan Abu Ganem, 19, also died from his wounds inside the Al-Makassed hospital, which has been besieged by Israeli police since yesterday evening. 

Footage on social media shows his family members lifting Ganem's dead body, which was shrouded in white cloth, over the hospital wall, in a bid to stop the Israeli authorities from seizing the body.
