Medical Crisis in Gaza

(23 Oct 08 - RV) The International Committee of the Red Cross said today that the situation of ill patients in the Gaza Strip who cannot obtain medical treatment is “extremely worrying.” The reduction of medical supply imports and a strike of Palestinian health workers that has been underway since August are exacerbating the already critical situation. Kelsea Brennan-Wessels spoke with ICRC spokesperson Anne Sophie Bonefeld about why medical supplies are so difficult to obtain.
