WHO: Gaza hospitals limited, medicines scarce
The World Health Organization has warned of the deteriorating health situation in Gaza, where the healthcare system is suffering from a severe shortage of medicines, medical supplies, and fuel. Nineteen out of thirty-six hospitals are operating only partially, with no hospitals functioning at full capacity. Restrictions on humanitarian aid entry are complicating the provision of healthcare, especially for patients with cancer, kidney diseases, mothers, and children, many of whom are facing difficulties in accessing treatment. The organization calls for the urgent and sustainable opening of medical supplies access, rehabilitation of healthcare facilities, and expansion of medical evacuation procedures for patients in need of treatments not available within the sector.
