Al-Shifa Medical Complex director Dr. Mohammad Abu Salmiya said tumor medications for cancer patients in Gaza face a 70 percent shortage, with critical gaps across essential drugs and medical supplies, Shehab Wire reported.
The shortage extends beyond oncology treatments. Abu Salmiya described a severe deficit in basic pharmaceuticals needed across the health system, though he did not detail which drugs were most acutely unavailable.
