The Disengagement from the Gaza Strip: Patients Pay the Price Hundreds of patients who cannot receive treatment in the Gaza Strip are trapped in the area, waiting for the gates to ope n. The closure imposed on the Gaza Strip by Israel since the beginning of the disengagement plan prevents entry into Israel or passage through Israel in order to reach the West Bank and East Jerusale m. The border with Egypt is also closed un til further notice. It was open for a abo ut a day and then clos ed again and it is unclear when the crossing will reopen. Complaints received by Physicians for Human Rights-Israel indicate that, given these circumstances, hundreds of patients have been left without treatment . Exit to Israel: Cancer patients who had been receiving treatment in Israel very rarely receive permits e nabling them to travel to the hospitals. For example, 16 children undergoing chemotherapy treatment in Israel have been unable to reach their scheduled appointments for two weeks now. Over the past two weeks, out of 40 applications submitted by patients for entry permits for treatment in Israel, only 6-7 have been approved. Exit to Egypt: In normal times, 40-50 patients travel to Egypt to receive medical treatment unava ilable in the Gaza Strip. Since the c losure of the border, no- one, besides a few that "fled" during the day it was open, has been able to leave On September 12, 2005, PHR-Israel received notification from General Dan Harel, Commander of IDF Forces in the Gaza Strip Area, regarding the termination of military gov ernment. Despite earlier con tacts from PHR-Israel emp hasizing that Israel must ensure arrangements enabling the passage of patients to Egypt and Israel even after the disengagement, no steps have been taken to ensure contiguity of treatment for these patients. It should be noted that many treatme nts are not availab le in the Gaza Strip (such as catheterization and heart operations, burns, pediatric cardiology, neurosurgery and so on). Other treatments exist, but not at an adequate standard. Thus, for example , the Palestinian Autho rity refers approximately half the cancer patients for treatment in Israel and Egypt, although Shifa Hospital has an oncology department.
