War and chronic illness: a health center-based study of Palestinians with non-communicable diseases in Gaza
The study offers important insights into the impacts of high-intensity armed conflicts on people with NCDs. The war in the Gaza Strip has profoundly impacted patients with NCDs and hampered their access to healthcare, leaving the population at risk for higher morbidity and excess mortality rates now and well into the future.
