Israel's restrictions on medical supplies needed for dental treatment are causing widespread physical and psychological suffering across Gaza, according to We Are Not Numbers. Patients unable to access basic care face severe pain, infection risk, and deteriorating oral health, while dental professionals struggle to treat even emergency cases with severely limited materials.
The restrictions have left Gaza's dental infrastructure unable to function at basic operational capacity. Residents report enduring chronic tooth pain and related complications as untreated conditions worsen, compounding health challenges already strained by the broader humanitarian crisis in the territory.
