The PA has been refusing to transfer drugs into Gaza claiming a lack of funds.
GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Doctors in Gaza have been forced to cancel surgeries due to critical shortages of medicine and supplies, a health ministry official said Friday.
Ministry undersecretary Hasen Khalef said eye surgeries, and operations on blood vessels and nerves were among those canceled due to the lack of medication.
Gaza Health Minister Bassem Naem said prescheduled surgeries -- including children's operations, cardiac catheterization, laparoscopic surgery and bone and nerve operations -- would be stopped.
The ministry would reduce medical services including laboratory tests, Naem added. more
