Amman: Following 10 months of its systematic and widespread destruction of the health sector and imposing arbitrary blockade, Israel continues to deliberately prevent the entry of medical supplies, including medical devices and essential medicines, into the Gaza Strip, resulting in a high death toll there, according to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.

“Now more than ever, immediate action is needed to lift Israel’s blockade on the Strip, bring in medical supplies to save the lives of sick and injured persons, guarantee the right to travel for those in need of critical treatment, and bring in the supplies required to immediately rebuild the health system and ensure its safety from Israeli targeting,” the Euro-Med Monitor said on Monday in a statement.

The latest statistics from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza indicate that more than 12,000 injured people and 14,000 sick patients are in urgent need of traveling for treatment, the Euro-Med Monitor noted.
