Palestinian officials say 9,000 patients in Gaza are waiting for cancer treatment, and have called on the international community to pressure Israel to allow them to receive treatment in Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank
According to a Palestinian health ministry official, around 9,000 Palestinians in Gaza need treatment for cancer.
The Palestinian official appealed to the international community and human rights institutions “to assume their responsibilities and pressure Israel to allow the movement of patients to hospitals in Jerusalem and the West Bank for treatment." The ministry said 6,000 cancer patients were admitted to the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in 2022, expecting the number to rise by 2,000 in 2023.
Many patients in Gaza depend on hospitals in occupied East Jerusalem, occupied West Bank and Israel to receive treatment and perform operations that are not available in the strip.
