Director of al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza: 5 Cancer patients die daily due to Israeli aggression
Gaza – Saba:
Director of al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza Mohammed Abu Salmiya on Sunday revealed that 5 cancer patients die daily in their homes due to the lack of medical care as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
Abu Salmiya said in press statements on Sunday, "We are losing many patients and wounded due to the shortage of blood units," according to the Palestinian News Agency (Safa).
He pointed out that hospitals are suffering from a shortage of clean water, even in kidney dialysis units.
Earlier in the day, the Gaza Municipality stated that with the onset of rising temperatures and the increasing need for water by citizens and displaced persons, the city is experiencing catastrophic conditions due to the Israeli enemy's destruction of approximately 75% of water wells since October 2023, and the lack of fuel needed to operate the remaining wells.
Since March 2, the Israeli enemy has closed the Gaza Strip crossings to the entry of food, relief, medical aid, and goods, causing a significant deterioration in the humanitarian situation.
With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has been committing genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 54,418 Palestinian citizens, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 124,190 others. To date, this is a preliminary toll, with thousands of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue teams.
