Gaza: 250 Cancer Patients Dead Since October Amid Severe Medication Shortages
The head of Gaza Cancer Center, Dr. Mohamed Abu Ndeh, warned of the deteriorating health situation for cancer patients in the Gaza Strip. The severe shortage of medicines, medical supplies, and diagnostic tests has led to an increase in mortality rates, currently ranging from two to three deaths per day. Since October, the number of deaths has reached approximately 250, compared to the annual pre-war rate of 400 to 500 cases. He explained that the difficult conditions compel medical teams to dispense only available medicines and send patients home, which threatens treatment opportunities and further worsens patients' conditions. He called on the international community and humanitarian organizations to urgently intervene to provide essential medicines and diagnostic tests, in order to save lives and mitigate the worsening health crisis in Gaza.
