Gaza Cancer Patients Face Medicine Shortage as Israeli Strikes Damage Hospital
Cancer patients in Gaza are facing a critical medicine shortage as officials at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah report that cancer medicines have completely run out across the besieged enclave.
The shortage comes as Israeli strikes continue to damage essential medical infrastructure. An Israeli strike reportedly damaged the hospital’s water tanks, laboratory equipment and storage areas, further disrupting healthcare services.
With cancer medicines unavailable, patients already facing limited access to treatment are at increased risk of interrupted or delayed care.
The situation adds to the wider humanitarian and healthcare crisis in Gaza, where medical facilities continue to operate under severe pressure and shortages of essential supplies.
