Gaza's Medicine Crisis
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights warned that the depletion of medicines, medical consumables and laboratory supplies in Gaza threatens the lives of thousands of patients—particularly those with cancer, kidney failure and chronic illnesses—and is disrupting treatment and diagnosis. According to Ministry of Health data, the shortage of essential medicines stands at 42%, with 263 of 622 items out of stock, while the shortage of laboratory reagents has reached 71%. More than 350,000 people with chronic illnesses are struggling to obtain their medication. The Centre attributed the crisis to restrictions on the entry of supplies and the disruption of medical facilities. It called for supplies to be allowed in immediately and on a sustained basis, for crossings to be opened, and for medical evacuation to be secured for those who cannot be treated inside the Strip.
