Press Statement Issued by the Ministry of Health in Gaza

 Healthcare services in hospitals are being provided based on limited stocks of medications and medical supplies.

 The ongoing shortage of medications hinders medical teams from carrying out emergency interventions for the wounded.

 Hundreds of patients and wounded individuals are deprived of essential medications, and their suffering is worsening due to the closure of border crossings.

 Cancer, kidney failure, and heart patients are the most affected by the shortage of medications and medical supplies.

 Additional categories of essential medicines are at risk of running out, which could further exacerbate the current shortages—already reaching 37% of essential medications and 59% of medical supplies.

 International organizations are urged to pressure the Israeli occupation to allow the entry of medical supplies and field hospitals.
