Gaza patient deaths while waiting for aid
The Director of Medical Relief in Gaza, Muhammad Abu Arafesh, warned of the deteriorating health situation in the strip due to the ongoing occupation's continuation of closing border crossings and restricting the entry of medicines and medical supplies. This has led to the death of 2,027 patients while awaiting treatment or medical evacuation. He pointed out that more than 21,000 patients are in need of medical evacuation, and none of them have been able to leave through Rafah crossing for over five days, amidst ongoing closures and delays in patient departures. This situation worsens their health conditions, especially for cancer, kidney failure, and heart disease patients. Additionally, healthcare services have been severely impacted, with the number of health centers halving, affecting services for pregnant women and children. There is also concern about long-term health effects on children due to the lack of medical care and poor nutrition.
