Thousands of surgeries canceled in Gaza due to anesthesia shortage


Gaza hospitals are out of anesthetic and have been forced to cancel thousands of operations as a result.

Gaza's Ministry of Health warned on Tuesday that supplies of anesthesia drugs had stopped. About 1,000 surgeries per month are performed in Gaza.

The main drug that is running out is fentanyl.

This is all because the PA refuses to pay for medicines and other critical equipment in Gaza in an effort to exert control - at the expense of ordinary Gazans.

It is just another outrage that dwarfs the worst that anyone can credibly accuse Israel of doing, but one that won't make any headlines since Israel isn't the one that can be blamed.
