Ashraf Helis, Head of the Cardiology Department at Nasser Medical Complex:
Heart disease is the second leading cause of death worldwide after cancer. However, in the Gaza Strip, we have a shortage of treatment equipment and medications, thus compounding the problem.
Heart patients in the Gaza Strip suffer greatly. For example, there are no pacemakers available for those who need them.
Some heart patients have been waiting for years for referrals for treatment abroad.

Dr. Ismail Al-Thawabta, Director General of the Government Media Office in Gaza:
- The Israeli occupation has expanded what is known as the “Yellow Line” to the “Orange Line,” a wider and more restrictive area extending deep into residential areas in the northern and central Gaza Strip.
- The expansion includes increasing the number of restricted areas, tightening movement restrictions, and turning vast areas into dangerous and inaccessible zones.
- A sharp reduction in the areas available to residents and preventing the return of hundreds of thousands of displaced people to their original homes.
- The continued expansion threatens further forced displacement and overcrowding, and undermines the chances for stability.
- 2,649 Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement have been recorded since October. These violations have resulted in 830 killed and 2,345 injured, and have included attacks on civilians and infrastructure.

Released prisoner Ahmed Qaddas revealed shocking details about the health and humanitarian situation of imprisoned doctor Hussam Abu Safiya. He indicated that Abu Safiya's condition has deteriorated significantly as a result of torture and ill-treatment inside Israeli occupation prisons.

He noted that Abu Safiya now mutters incomprehensible words in a faint voice, reflecting the extent of his physical and psychological collapse and the prisoners could hear his screams while he was being beaten, unable to offer any assistance.
