Gaza diabetic patients face ongoing crisis
Diabetic patients in Gaza strip are suffering from a severe health crisis due to the ongoing Israeli blockade that has lasted for over three years. This has led to a significant shortage of medicines and medical supplies, as many medications expire because proper storage conditions are unavailable and the economic situation has deteriorated. Children and adolescents with diabetes have experienced coma episodes after using expired drugs, amidst a decline in safe and proper treatment options. This has resulted in fatal ICU admissions, with a severe shortage of essential treatments and alternatives. Reports indicate that approximately 71,000 diabetic patients are suffering from worsening health conditions due to the unavailability of medicines and inadequate storage means. Medical experts describe the current crisis as being beyond the capacity of the healthcare system to manage, with continued shortages of medicines and a dramatic increase in their prices.
