IMG_4098Gaza, February 2, 2009 ( Pal Telegraph) - The General Department of Pharmacy is reporting that 104 essential drugs --including treatments for cancer, heart conditions, kidney disease and psychiatric disorders -- and 123 types of medical supplies have completely run out due to the Israeli blockade and ongoing closure of the crossings.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza calls on all local and international organizations, including the World Health Organization, International Committee of the Res Cross and other human rights organizations, to intervene to bring in the necessary medical supplies.
