11 Gazan children arrive to receive cancer treatment-KHCC


Amman, August 15 (Petra) -11 Gazan cancer children arrived in Jordan to receive medical treatment at King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC), bringing the total Gazan children receiving treatment at the center to 50 since last October 7.

In press remarks to "Petra" Thursday, Director General of King Hussein Cancer Foundation (KHCF), Nisreen Qatamesh, said the children and their families are now undergoing health assessment, psychological treatment and social support, within the center's social action and psychological support team, noting that their health condition is "unstable."

Qatamesh added that the KHCC is planning to develop a treatment plan for the Gazan patients and their families, and is also working in coordination with Jordan's schools and universities to enable the patients' siblings to complete their studies while the patients are receiving treatment.

Qatamesh announced over 5,000 cancer patients in Gaza now lack treatment at all, as well as painkillers, which are the minimum requirements for healthcare services in Gaza currently.
