Slow genocide: Death and displacement continue in Gaza months into ceasefire by Maha Hussaini

As of November, 56 percent of essential drugs, 68 percent of medical consumables, and 67 percent of laboratory supplies were unavailable, the ministry said.  

Screening services in Gaza are also nonexistent, so patients like al-Hessi cannot know how far the cancer has spread. 

… Dr Muhammad Abunada, medical director of the Gaza Cancer Centre, told MEE that there is a 70 percent shortage in cancer medications and painkillers, as Israeli authorities continue to restrict the entry of medical supplies into Gaza.

… He added that death rates among cancer patients have doubled or even tripled since the genocide began. Before the war, one cancer patient would die per day; now, two or three die daily.

… The most recent data concerns newborns. The United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) found that the rate of newborns dying at birth increased by 75 percent during the last three months of the war. 

Between July and September, an average of 47 newborn deaths were recorded each month, almost double the monthly average
