GAZA, (PIC)-- Spokesman for the health ministry Ashraf Al-Qudra warned that 310 types of medicines and medical consumables are no longer available in the Gaza Strip and will result in serious consequences especially in light of the escalating Israeli aggression. "In light of the repeated Zionist attacks on our people in the Gaza Strip, we appeal to those who have living conscience to provide the health sector with its needs of medicines and medical consumables," Qudra said in a press release on Saturday. He noted that the limited amount of anesthetic drugs are about to run out completely from emergency and surgery units because of the increasing number of causalities admitted into Gaza hospital. http://www.palestine-info.co.uk
