Gaza Reports Medicine Shortage and Patient Deaths
Munir Al-Barsh, Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza Strip, warned of the deterioration of health and environmental conditions due to the ongoing Israeli occupation's continued ban on the entry of medicines, medical supplies, and fuel. This has led to over 53% of medicines in hospitals and health centers running out of stock, and a 28% increase in waterborne diseases. He also pointed out that more than 1,500 patients have died while waiting for permission to leave for treatment. The water and sewage crises persist, and the capacity of healthcare facilities continues to decline amid an escalating humanitarian crisis caused by Israeli aggression, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of victims and widespread destruction across the sector.
