More than one third of permits are denied or delayed for cancer patients in Gaza.
Radiotherapy for cancer patients in the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) is only available in East Jerusalem, meaning patients from Gaza must apply to Israel for a permit to access treatment. One third of these permits are denied or delayed, which risks interrupted care.
We must continue to help provide life-saving medicines and disposables to Palestinian hospitals. Latest figures show that 44% of oncology (cancer) and hematology drugs are at zero stock in Gaza – meaning there is less than one month's supply left, or they have already run out completely.
Your donation could help to pay for urgently needed supplies like fluorouracil and oxaliplatin, which treat various types of cancer in patients.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Palestinian women, comprising 29% of all cancer diagnoses for women in the West Bank and 20% in Gaza. This is why we need your support to bring life-saving medicine and treatment to Palestinian women and help address this injustice. Your donation could help us get lifesaving medicines like the ones listed above into the hands of doctors in the oPT to treat Palestinians.
Please consider setting up a monthly donation today. Thank you.
