Thalassemia patients in Gaza hospitals are waiting for a dose of medication or a blood unit that may not be available, threatening their lives and exacerbating their suffering amidst dire humanitarian conditions.
Thousands of people with the disease face immense difficulties in surviving. Medications to lower their iron levels are completely unavailable, and securing the necessary blood units is extremely challenging due to Israeli restrictions on border crossings, which prevent the entry of approximately 70% of medications into Gaza.
