Gaza Health Ministry:

Israeli genocidal war takes high toll on chronic disease patients

The Ministry of Health in Gaza Strip recounts the high toll paid by chronic disease patients as a result of more than a year of Israeli genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip.

Dr. Muneer Alboursh, the ministry’s director general, provided the account in a post on X, former Twitter, on Monday.

“More than 350,000 chronic disease patients, 12,500 cancer patients, and 1,100 kidney failure patients are suffering from a lack of treatment due to severe shortages of medications and the shutdown of hospitals as a result of the genocidal war waged by the Israeli occupation,” he said.

“The medication deficit has reached 80% for some chronic diseases, 60% for cancer drugs, and 64% for medical supplies,” the official noted, adding, “This acute shortage of medical resources endangers thousands of lives daily, leaving patients to face an uncertain fate.”

Alboursh cited heart-wrenching remarks by a cancer and kidney failure patient from the coastal sliver, who had detailed the ordeal that had been caused for her and her family as a result of the war.

Alboursh concluded the post by reminding that the daily suffering of such patients mandated international action to ensure protection of their lives and their right to medical treatment.

More than 45,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in the war that began after a retaliatory operation staged by Gaza’s resistance movements on October 7, 2023 in response to the regime’s decades of deadly occupation and aggression against Palestinians.
