lyannastarks Uncategorized August 18, 2018 1 Minute aishawarma: Gaza halts treatment for cancer patients as siege worsens Chemotherapy drug shortages put the lives of more than 8,200 cancer patients at risk, Gaza health officials say. Earlier this week, health officials in Gaza announced the al-Rantisi hospital, with about 6,100 elderly tumor patients, and 460 children, was no longer able to provide patients with chemotherapy sessions, citing medication shortages. Doctors say the situation has been exacerbated since Israel cut off the supply of essential commodities last month by partially sealing off the Karem Abu Salem commercial border crossing with the Gaza Strip. Chemotherapy drugs have been prohibited from entering Gaza, along with other medical equipment needed to perform radiotherapy, molecular therapy, PET scans and isotope scans.
