Legal Center Warns Gaza Medical Supply Ban Endangers Lives
The Gaza Center for Human Rights exposes the ongoing Israeli occupation's continued prevention and restriction of the entry of medical equipment and medicines into the Gaza Strip, exacerbating the health crisis and threatening patients' lives, especially those with heart and dental conditions. This has led to the destruction of most healthcare facilities and a significant decline in services. Purely medicinal materials are being prevented from entering under the pretext of "dual-use," resulting in increased treatment costs and forcing doctors to take harsh measures, such as extracting teeth instead of treating them, along with a rise in infections and serious health complications due to the lack of sterilization capabilities. Cardiac operations and patient care have also been affected, with many catheterization procedures halted and a severe shortage of necessary devices and medicines, all under strict travel and crossing border restrictions. The center confirms that these policies constitute a war crime and a blatant violation of international law, calling on international organizations to urgently act to open a safe passage that allows the entry of life-saving medical supplies, amidst the continued Israeli campaign to destroy the healthcare system in an attempt to tighten control, despite repeated international calls.
