Doctors Against Genocide

Gaza's breast cancer patients are undergoing immediate mastectomies due to a lack of diagnostic tools and cancer drugs, as doctors urge international pressure to end Israel's blockade and ban on medical supplies. The blockade, in place for nearly two decades, has led to the destruction of 38 hospitals and killed 1,700 medical workers, according to Gaza's health ministry.

Gaza's breast cancer patients undergo immediate mastectomies due to a lack of diagnostic tools and cancer drugs. Doctors report severe shortages of medical equipment, including MRI and cardiac catheterization machines, and critical supplies like chlorine bleach, exacerbated by Israel's blockade and ongoing conflict.

A petition organized by multiple health groups calls for the suspension of the Israeli Medical Association (IMA) from the World Medical Association (WMA) over alleged ethical violations and complicity in attacks on healthcare. Over 1,300 signatories, including health professionals and organizations, accuse the IMA of failing to condemn Israeli military actions against medical facilities in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, and of endorsing attacks on Palestinian healthcare.
