Gaza: About 10,000 cancer patients in the Gaza Strip are currently facing a critical situation as they are unable to access essential medication, Palestinian health sources said on Tuesday.

The sources revealed that this dire circumstance has arisen as a result of the forced closure of the Palestinian-Turkish Friendship Hospital, which has been rendered inoperative due to the ongoing aggression against the Strip, lasting nearly 88 days.

The sources reported that cancer patients in Gaza are enduring inhumane conditions, and lacking necessary cancer treatment medications.

Last October, the Israeli airstrikes severely damaged the third and final floor of the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, rendering it inoperable as a consequence of the Israeli aggression.

The Turkish government had funded the construction of this medical facility, which stands as one of the largest hospitals in Palestine and the sole institution dedicated to treating cancer patients in Gaza. Spanning an area of 34,800 square meters
and comprising three floors, the hospital features a total of 180 beds.

Amman: Minister of Government Communications hosted Tuesday the third meeting of the Government Communication Forum, titled “The Agricultural Sector: State and Achievements,” with participation from Minister of Government Communications and Government Spokesperson Muhannad Mubaidin and Minister of Agriculture Khaled Hneifat.

Mubaideen said that the Ministry continues to hold meetings of the Government Communication Forum, which brings together officials and members of society, as well as media outlets, to discuss national concerns and general topics.

“Jordan is aware of its strategic decisions and policies, and our goal as a government is to positively impact citizens’ futures, which is inextricably linked to the conflicts and consequences that encircle us in the region,” Mubaidin said in the meeting.

He underlined that the Jordanians’ and their Hashemite leadership’s ability to overcome crises has been the most notable aspect of the Kingdom throughout its modern history.

He reaffirmed Jordan’s tough stan
ce on the Palestinian cause and ending the Gaza war.

He emphasized that His Majesty King Abdullah has worked since the beginning of the crisis to mobilize an international position for a ceasefire, maintain the flow of humanitarian and relief aid into the Strip, and prevent Gazans from being displaced.

Under royal directions, Mubaidin added, the government allocated JD3 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to continue its mission of supporting the people of Gaza, in addition to the Cabinet’s resolution to provide 45,000 tons of wheat and cereals to Palestinians in the West Bank and dispatch trucks of medicines and medical supplies to the West Bank as well, in addition to the Royal Air Force’s airdrop operations to Jordanian field hospitals in northern and southern Gaza to provide health and treatment services to the people of the Strip in response to Israel’s onslaught on Gaza.

Amman: The Jordan Press Association (JPA) strongly condemned the assassination of Hamas Deputy Chairman Saleh Al-Arouri and two commanders of the Al-Qassam Brigades, carried out by Zionist entity forces by a drone in Beirut’s southern suburb (Dahieh).

The assassination is a clear violation of international humanitarian law as well as all laws and practices that ban the practice of assassination, the JPA said Tuesday in a statement.

The JPA Council emphasized that this heinous crime adds to the long list of awful crimes and violations committed by the Zionist entity against the Palestinian people, ignoring all international conventions and resolutions in support of the Palestinian people.

The JPA Council underscored that the assassination operations against Palestinian leaders and symbols demonstrate the Zionist entity’s abject failure to achieve any of its aggressive goals in the Gaza Strip, pointing out that it will not succeed in breaking the will and steadfastness of the Palestinian people or underminin
g the continuation of their valiant resistance.

The Council reaffirmed its sustained support for the rights of the Palestinian people, who suffer immensely and pay a high price for defending Palestine.
