Gaza’s Health Ministry warns: Palestinian Authority to stop sending medicine and baby formula to hospitals

‘The Palestinian Authority is to stop providing medicines and baby formula to hospitals in the Gaza Strip, which could have disastrous consequences for residents in the Strip, the Health Ministry in Gaza warned Tuesday.
The director general of the Gazan Health Ministry’s pharmacy department, Dr. Munir al­Bursh, was quoted on a number of Palestinian websites identified with Hamas as saying this was a political decision.
He is in contact with senior officials in the Health Ministry in the West Bank to determine the meaning of the decision – which was announced by Ramallah on Tuesday – and how long it will be in effect, he said.
“This is a decision that has destructive implications for the residents [of Gaza], and in particular for the chronically ill and children,” said Bursh.’
