Palestinian Health Ministry: Four Years for Gaza Evacuations
The Palestinian Ministry of Health has called for the evacuation of approximately 21,000 patients and injured individuals from the Gaza Strip to outside the area. The process is expected to take about four years if current conditions continue, due to the closure of the Rafah crossing to medical transit. The ministry affirmed that the closure hampers the treatment of critical cases and further deteriorates the capacity of local hospitals, which are suffering from a severe shortage of medicines and medical supplies. This situation increases the suffering of patients and poses a threat to their lives. Additionally, data shows that only 22 out of 38 hospitals are operating with limited capacity, drug shortages have reached about 45-48%, and there is a severe crisis in dialysis equipment, leading to increased mortality rates due to malnutrition and famine.
