On Sunday, Dr. Jamal Al-Hamass, Medical Director of the Kuwait Field Hospital in Gaza, announced that the facility has halted both emergency and scheduled surgeries due to a severe shortage of medical supplies amid the Israeli closure of crossings.
The hospital handles around 35 surgeries daily across various specialties, including approximately seven childbirth procedures. The suspension of these services is endangering patients’ lives and worsening their health conditions.
Al-Hamass also noted that saline solution is currently unavailable, with the entire stock depleted, despite being essential for most urology operations.
