Kidney Dialysis Service Suspended at Shifa Medical Complex, Threatening the Lives of 350 Patients

SadaNews - The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced the suspension of the kidney dialysis service at the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City due to a fuel shortage, threatening the lives of 350 patients who rely on this service to stay alive.

It added that intensive care patients are facing the immediate risk of death due to the lack of fuel needed to operate life-support medical devices, as the service for them will only continue for a few more hours.

It clarified that the hospital's generators will completely stop at 12 PM, meaning that hundreds, possibly thousands, of patients will face a real danger to their lives.

It emphasized that international organizations have informed the hospital administration that the occupation is preventing fuel from being delivered to the sector, and there are no available options to address this crisis other than a complete cessation of medical services.
