Gaza medicine shortage threatens lives
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights warned of an acute shortage of medicines and medical supplies in Gaza, saying it was disrupting healthcare services and putting patients’ lives at risk, particularly those with cancer, kidney failure, and chronic illnesses. The shortfall in stocks of essential medicines reached 42%, with 263 of 622 items out of stock. The shortage of medical consumables reached 50%, while public health laboratories and tumor-marker tests faced a complete lack of supplies. The Centre said that more than 350,000 people with chronic illnesses were struggling to obtain their medicines, and called for the crossings to be opened and for medical supplies to be allowed in immediately and on a sustained basis.
