Gaza Hospital Reports 2027 Deaths Amid Crossings Closure
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip reported the deaths of 2,027 patients and injuries since the closure of the Rafah crossing in May 2024. This has led to a severe deterioration of the healthcare system due to shortages of medicines and medical supplies, as well as restrictions on medical evacuations imposed by the Israeli occupation. These restrictions have resulted in the deaths of dozens of patients, halted treatment for many critical cases, and caused a 60% decline in diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities as medical supplies run out. Additionally, the blockade has contributed to rising malnutrition rates, with 157 deaths due to hunger recorded since 2024, alongside worsening conditions for children and the elderly. The percentage of anemia among pregnant women has increased to 61%, and nutritional levels have declined to dangerous levels, threatening the lives of more than 1.4 million Palestinians by the end of 2026. The international community is called upon to ensure the safe entry of food and medicines.
