The director of the Kuwait hospital in southern Gaza's Rafah has warned of acute shortages of medicines and food.
“We confirm that the sector suffers from acute shortages in more than 75 percent of essential medicines, a large part of which constitute life-saving medications, which is directly threatening the lives of the vast majority of patients,” Suhaib al-Hams said.
He added that the available stock medicines and supplies are "currently insufficient for more than one week" and urged “all concerned parties to move immediately” to reopen the borders for entry of medical and humanitarian aid.
He also called for the crossings to be immediately opened in order to “evacuate patients who are slowly dying every day without treatment”.
