Gaza Medical Relief Cautions on Health Risks Amid Resource Shortages
Reports indicate that medical relief efforts in the Gaza Strip are facing a severe crisis, with inventories of 45 types of medicines depleted and the medication shortage rate reaching 54%. The shortage of laboratory supplies exceeds 80%. Officials pointed out that ongoing shortages of fuel and medicines have led to the reduction of medical services, with some hospitals ceasing operations except for emergency cases. There are warnings that the health situation may worsen with the arrival of winter, as viral waves and new diseases increase, especially given the decline in medical aid. They emphasized that a large number of patients, including those with chronic illnesses, require ongoing medical follow-up and continuous medications. Currently, available medicine quantities cover only 15-20% of needs. Calls have been made to establish medical and humanitarian corridors to facilitate the transfer of medicines and to evacuate patients abroad for treatment.
