A staggering 10,000 cancer patients are in urgent need of treatment outside the territory due to the complete collapse of the local healthcare system.

The ministry has accused Israel of exacerbating the crisis by closing the Rafah border crossing for 100 days, preventing sick and wounded Palestinians from leaving Gaza.

Furthermore, the ministry has condemned Israel's aggression on Gaza as a "genocide," citing the deaths of over 4,000 Palestinians, including a disproportionate number of children, women, and elderly people, since the start of the conflict on October 7, 2023.

With over 92,000 injured, the Gaza Strip is facing a humanitarian catastrophe. (ILKHA)
