Patients face shortages of basic laboratory supplies and donated blood, while some need to travel outside the enclave for bone marrow transplants.
In a fragile tent in Gaza, 60-year-old Rasmiya Ismail is coping with a blood disorder and several other illnesses. Al Jazeera reports that one of her greatest difficulties is finding a blood donor.
People with blood disorders in the enclave also need basic laboratory tests and, in some cases, bone marrow transplants outside Gaza. The deteriorating health system is making diagnosis, treatment and follow-up harder to obtain.
