The Palestinian ministry of health in Gaza has warned that the health situation in the besieged Gaza Strip is getting worse as hundreds of medicines and medical consumables are gradually running out from hospitals and medical centers.
Spokesman for the health ministry Ashraf Al-Qudra stated that there are serious indicators that the pharmaceutical and health crisis in Gaza would deteriorate very badly if this situation persisted.
The spokesman warned that the severity of the health crisis may turn very ugly to the extent that it would be hard to control it by the ongoing international efforts to contain it.
He said that as the month of June ended, the balance of medical supplies reached a very disturbing level after 206 types of essential medicines and 266 medical consumables completely ran out from hospitals, test labs, primary care centers and blood banks.
