2011: Toughest Year for Gaza Medics, What’s Next?!
As 2011 draws to an end, medical shortages in the Gaza Strip have reached their highest levels.
A spokesman for Gaza's Health Ministry Ashraf al-Qidra announced Saturday that "medics in the besieged coastal enclave had to cope with shortages of medicine and medical equipment on a daily basis, affecting over one-third of patients."
"Patients with chronic diseases such as cancer, kidney failure and neuritis were the worst affected, al-Qidra revealed in remarks to Maan news agency.
Uncovering that "hospitals and health centers have totally run out of 145 basic medicines and 150 types of medical equipment," he added that "medical shortages coincided with "Israeli" threats to launch a large scale offensive on the Gaza Strip."
The head of the "Israeli" army's Southern Brigade Tal Hermoni declared Wednesday ""Israel" was ready for a new military operation on Gaza."
"We are preparing and in fact are ready for another campaign, which will be varied and different, to renew our deterrence," Hermoni said.
"In 2011, "Israeli" occupation killed 124 people in Gaza including 20 children and two women," al-Qidra said.
"Over 600 people were injured in "Israeli" attacks," the health ministry official added highlighting the fact that "residents and hospitals had to cope with 8-hour power cuts most days in 2011 due to diesel shortages."
