Gaza's Ministry of Health warns that 42 percent of essential medicines and 50 percent of medical equipment have completely run out, pushing critical health services to a complete collapse. A shortage of chemotherapy drugs, hormonal treatments, immunosuppressants and clotting factors disrupted 55 percent of the protocols of thousands of patients, the ministry said. Patients face life-threatening complications, while Israeli restrictions on border crossings block access to treatment outside of Gaza.
