Halo al-Ahdar: 60% of Gaza X-ray Devices Destroyed
The Director of Health Programs at the Red Crescent Society in the Gaza Strip warned of a decline in diagnostic and treatment capabilities due to a shortage of medicines and the malfunction of laboratory and radiology devices. Approximately 60% of radiology equipment has broken down, and around 21,000 patients require medical evacuation, with only about 120 patients allowed to travel daily. Patients with cancer and chronic illnesses are particularly affected, facing difficulties in conducting early tests and delays in treatment, which increases their health risks. Additionally, data from the Ministry of Health indicated that 25 out of 38 hospitals have been rendered inoperative during the Israeli occupation's war, and 103 health centers have been destroyed, further complicating healthcare delivery in the region.
