Gaza, MINA – The Gaza-based Palestinian Health Ministry has warned that hospitals in the besieged enclave have run out of first-aid medicines, leaving thousands of patients without treatment.

The Ministry’s spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said in a press statement on Thursday that patients and children at Gaza hospitals are at risk of losing their lives after 70% of first-aid drugs along with medicines for chronic diseases and therapeutic milk have become at zero stock, PIC reported.

A few days earlier, the ministry has expressed deep concerns over serious setbacks to rock the health of thousands of chronically ill patients as a result of a sharp dearth in life-saving drugs.
