⚡️ ⭕️ Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor:

📌 The #Gaza Strip records daily deaths of patients and wounded as a result of the blockade and #Israel's prevention of the entry of medical supplies and medicines and its destruction of the health sector.

📌 Deprivation of necessary treatment, food and other materials essential for survival is a slow death for those who were not directly killed by #Israeli military attacks.

📌 We receive dozens of complaints daily from #Palestinians who need to travel or travel for their relatives to receive life-saving treatment outside the #Gaza Strip, in light of the majority of hospitals being out of service due to the blockade and #Israeli targeting.

📌 The health crisis has been seriously worsening since #Israel closed the #Rafah land crossing with #Egypt last May, which prevented thousands of wounded and sick people from traveling to receive treatment and led to the death of hundreds of them so far.

▫️ Data from the #Palestinian Ministry of Health in #Gaza indicate that there are more than 12,000 wounded and 14,000 patients in need of urgent external transfer to save lives.

📌These are part of the tens of thousands who are in dire need of travel to complete treatment or receive essential health and rehabilitation services that are not available in the #Gaza Strip.

📌Deaths due to the lack of medicines or treatment or the lack of adequate health care are in the dozens daily and they are not officially counted among the victims of the ongoing #Israeli military attacks.

📌The data indicates a significant increase in the death rate in the #Gaza Strip during the past months compared to the same period in the previous two years, and this is related to hospitals being out of service and the collapse of the health system as a result of systematic #Israeli targeting.

📌We warn that thousands of cancer patients are facing severe suffering and are threatened with death due to the lack of treatment and their need to be transferred to travel to receive chemotherapy doses.

📌The ongoing siege and closure of crossings after the #Israeli destruction of hospitals and health facilities in #Gaza and putting most of them out of service means an #Israeli decision to carry out a mass execution of patients and the injured and deliberately kill them.

📌Israel is committing full-fledged war crimes against hospitals and protected persons, including the wounded and sick in #Gaza, without respecting the rules of international law.

📌Urgent action is required to lift the siege on #Gaza, bring in medical supplies to save the lives of sick and wounded civilians, guarantee the right to travel for treatment for patients, bring in the necessary supplies to rebuild the health system immediately, and ensure its protection from #Israeli targeting.
