Gaza's Sole Cancer Hospital Forced to Close Due to Fuel Shortage
TL;DR Summary
The Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, the only facility offering cancer treatment in Gaza, has shut down due to a lack of fuel caused by the Israeli blockade. With 16 out of 35 hospitals and over 50 primary healthcare clinics now out of service, the lives of 70 cancer patients are at serious risk. The ongoing bombardment by the Israeli military has put immense pressure on medical workers, while pregnant women face the prospect of giving birth without medical support. Humanitarian operations in Gaza are also on the brink of collapse due to fuel shortages.
