The last thing that the Palestinian Authority did for cancer patients in Gaza is reducing the budget allocated for their treatment, according to a source from Basmat Amal Society for Cancer Care in Gaza. He toldAl-Akhbar that “the person responsible for this decision is the undersecretary of the Ministry of Health in Ramallah who took charge of the ministry while the health minister is abroad. This happened after the association discussed the reasons for reducing the number of cancer patients being treated abroad and conveying the message to us that way.”

He argues that this has become a way to protect the doctor and the Ministry of Health. “Sometimes a patient whose condition is hopeless is transferred at the last minute, at a time when the priority should be given to patients at the beginning stages of cancer who require special care.”
