Gaza Medicine Shortage and Patient Deaths
Gaza Strip is facing a severe health and humanitarian crisis due to a shortage of medicines and the suspension of medical supplies. The percentage of medicines with zero stock has exceeded 53%, leading to the death of more than 1,500 patients who needed treatment outside the Gaza Strip while waiting for permission to leave. Data also indicate that 28% of waterborne diseases are linked to contaminated water, a result of the worsening environmental conditions exacerbated by water shortages and inadequate sanitation. This deterioration increases health risks for the population amidst the ongoing blockade and the persistent humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
