Patients in The Gaza Strip

Locals in The Gaza Strip are calling on international communities for a quick intervention to end the imposed siege on the Gaza strip and open the Rafah crossing so that patients can leave the strip to seek medical care. Hundreds of patients in Gaza are at risk if they don’t get immediate life-saving treatment. As the siege continues there are serious shortages of medical supplies available in the strip.
