  • Kidney failure patients face slow death in Gaza: Euro-Med

At least 1,000 to 1,500 patients with kidney failure in Gaza are on the verge of collapse owing to a shortage of medical treatments, as reported by the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor.

The group detailed that there are thousands of patients with serious and chronic illnesses who "face a slow death" as the war wages on and "Israel" continues its slaughter of Palestinians. 

“Nearly 60 kidney failure patients are at risk of death at any moment, and at least 20 others have already died, following their inability to receive adequate treatment as a result of Israel’s ongoing military attacks,” Euro-Med reported.

The occupation's intensive bombing has prevented patients from getting to hospitals for dialysis and other critical procedures.

Palestinians are incapable of acquiring salt-free water due to the occupation's fuel shortages and power outages, which have increased issues for dialysis patients.

Euro-Med explained that lack of electricity has shut down the desalination plant pumping water to Al-Shifa hospital, causing the breakdown of numerous dialysis machines, "making it impossible for patients to receive the health care they desperately need."

This has caused patients to receive care based on hospital schedules "rather than their medical needs."

No clean water left for patients 

Al-Shifa is said to be treating around 40 patients with renal failure at a pace of two sessions each week. Before the Israeli military assaults, the facility treated 450 patients.

"Israel's" weaponized malnutrition in the Gaza Strip, which has resulted in full-fledged famine, has exacerbated the agony of renal failure patients who are unable to obtain nutritional food. Most people eat beans and drink unclean water, which has decreased kidney function, allowing toxins to collect and potentially harm patients' health.

Aid authorities have warned of a potential famine, while hospitals in the besieged Strip's remote northern region report that children are dying of starvation.

The organization detailed how the occupation has systemically targeted Gaza's healthcare system and forced almost all hospitals and medical complexes out of service.

Before the Israeli aggression, Gaza's Health Ministry announced an acute scarcity of medical treatment for individuals with renal failure. The Ministry reported that it provided 13,000 dialysis sessions each month in six Gaza Strip centers and that its supplies, including blood transfusion tubes, cannulas, and dialysis filters, were nearly depleted.

Euro-Med encouraged the international community to act quickly and stop "Israel's" genocide against Palestinians, requesting that worldwide organizations supply humanitarian supplies to preserve the lives of those who are extremely vulnerable.

'Israel' used humanitarian aid as weapon for mass displacement

According to a recent assessment by Forensic Architecture, the Israeli occupation's evacuation orders in the Gaza Strip during the ongoing assault resulted in widespread displacement and "genocidal acts" against Palestinians.

The London-based research group found that the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) "weaponized" humanitarian measures, such as evacuation orders and "safe zones", to force civilians into areas of active bombardment.

According to the research, rather than safeguarding lives, the use of such measures has permitted the forcible transfer and mass displacement of Palestinians, as well as contributed to the massive civilian death toll in Gaza.

These numbers, however, fail to account for those who remain trapped under the rubble or on the streets as the Israeli occupation forces have forbidden ambulances and civil defense teams from reaching them.
