Medical sources reported that 59 year old Hassan Issa died of cancer, as he was banned from getting medical treatment because of the imposed siege. Moreover 50 year old Samiha abu Jary died on Sunday of a heart disease for not being able to get medicine because of the closure.

The health ministry also reported that there are more than 450 cancer patients in the Gaza Strip, and all are suffering from lack of medicine and need to have immediate surgeries.
