Cancer Patients in Gaza Face Death | Johannesburg News
Description
Cancer patients in Gaza are dying at alarming rates as the only specialized cancer hospital lies in ruins and Israeli restrictions block most from fleeing for treatment abroad. With 17,000 Gazans now without access to chemotherapy or advanced care, desperate mothers like a 33-year-old with spreading ovarian cancer wait in agony for permission to leave — often just hours from death. Despite a ceasefire promising free movement, daily crossings into Egypt remain capped, while Israeli officials say evacuations depend on WHO coordination and security checks. Meanwhile, toxic explosives may be accelerating cancer cases, hospitals are stripped of supplies, and skilled oncologists have vanished — leaving patients trapped in a deadly cycle of untreated illness and mounting despair.
