JAKARTA - A medical source in the Gaza Strip revealed 41 percent of the kidney failure patients in the Palestinian enclave had died since the new conflict broke out in 2023, the majority because of the inability to access treatment were analyzed and the destruction of vital medical infrastructure.
According to medical sources, the Israeli military destroyed the Noura Al-Kaabi Center in northern Gaza, one of the few special facilities providing services for kidney analysis in the area.
"This central collapse is a major blow to the health system," a medical source said, warning of dire consequences for the remaining patients, as reported by WAFA June 2.
"This is a disaster with consequences that we cannot fully understand," he said.
Earlier, Israeli forces reportedly destroyed Noura Al-Kaabi's Dialysis Hospital, in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday evening local time.
The hospital, the only facility in northern Gaza that provides kidney care and is located in an area serving tens of thousands of people in Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun, Jabalia and Umm al-Nasr, has struggled to operate after repeated Israeli attacks in recent months. Before being destroyed by Israeli forces, only eight machines were still being analyzed working at the hospital.
At the same time, Israeli troops also bombed several residential buildings in Gaza City.
