UNRWA: Severe medicine shortage in Gaza serious threat to Patients' lives
[16/ April/2025]
New York - Saba:

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Wednesday that the severe shortage of medicines and medical supplies in the Gaza Strip poses a serious threat to patients' lives.

The agency added, in a statement on its official website, that the entire healthcare system in Gaza has been under attack since the beginning of the aggression. It called for the lifting of the ongoing blockade imposed by the Israeli occupation forces on Gaza and a renewal of the ceasefire.

In the same context, Doctors Without Borders said in a report published on Wednesday that "the Gaza Strip has become a mass grave for Palestinians and those who help them."

The organization added that "the deliberate denial of access to essential aid is once again systematically destroying the lives of Palestinians," calling for "the immediate lifting of the blockade on Gaza, the protection of the lives of Palestinians and humanitarian and medical workers, and the restoration and maintenance of the ceasefire."
