Gaza Medicine Shortage Raises Mortalities
The Director General of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Munir Al-Barsh, confirmed that the health and environmental situation is rapidly deteriorating due to the Israeli occupation's ban on the entry of medicines, medical supplies, and fuel. The percentage of medicines with zero stock has exceeded 53%, and 28% of diseases are linked to contaminated water resulting from the mixing of drinking water with sewage. This has led to the spread of epidemics among the displaced. Al-Barsh also pointed out that more than 1,500 patients have died while waiting for approval to leave the Gaza Strip for treatment, amid the ongoing humanitarian and health crisis exacerbated by the continued Israeli aggression since October 2023.
