Congress Urges Israel to Allow Gaza Cancer Care
Seventy-two members of Congress have urged the administration of the American President to pressure Israel to allow Palestinian cancer patients in Gaza to access treatment and to reopen the medical corridor that previously enabled them to receive healthcare in Jerusalem and the West Bank. They noted that more than 11,000 cancer patients are suffering inside the Gaza Strip, with 94% of hospitals destroyed, and that over 1,200 patients have died while waiting for medical evacuation. The legislators are calling for cooperation with Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey to facilitate patient transfers, in addition to supporting the rebuilding of the healthcare infrastructure and safeguarding medical facilities in accordance with international humanitarian law.
