10k cancer patients in Gaza lack medications

TEHRAN, Jan. 02 (MNA) – News sources in the Gaza Strip have reported the compulsory closure of a Gaza hospital specializing in cancer has left 10,000 patients without medications.

Some medical sources active in the Gaza Strip declared that about 10 thousand cancer patients have been left without medications following the mandatory closure of the Al-Sadaqa Hospital as a result of the continued aggression by the Israeli regime and the imposition of total siege on the area.

Sobhi Sakik, the director of the Palestinian-Turkish Al-Sadaqa Hospital, confirmed the reports, adding that following the mandatory closure of this hospital and the continuation of aggression, now 10 thousand of cancer patients are in tough circumstances of living without medications.

He went on to say that there are no cancer drugs available to these patients in Gaza.

The director also urged all states to help Gaza healthcare operatives resume the operation of Al-Sadaqa Hospital, which is the only cancer hospital throughout the besieged area.

On the 87th day of the onslaught on the besieged territory, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Monday that the number of martyrs of the Israeli regime's aggressions against Gaza mounted to 21,978.
