TOP News Brief
The Gaza Health Ministry warned that 61 percent of cancer medications have run out of stock, according to Palestine Chronicle. The depletion occurs as Israel maintains a siege on the enclave, restricting the entry of medical supplies and pharmaceuticals into Gaza.
The shortage leaves cancer patients across the territory without access to critical treatment options. The crisis compounds an already fragile healthcare system struggling to operate under the blockade. Health officials have not specified which particular drugs are affected or provided details on the scale of patient impact, though the loss of such a substantial portion of oncology medications signals a severe breakdown in the availability of life-saving treatments.
