Kidney failure patients in Gaza face slow death

There are more than a thousand kidney failure patients in Gaza, according to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, and due to a lack of medical services, they are facing a slow death.

The rights monitor said that 20 people have already died of kidney failure, and nearly 60 patients are at risk of death "at any moment".

Hospitals across Gaza continue facing shortages of fuel, medicine, and surgical instruments. The collapse of the healthcare system in the besieged enclave also means that patients are no longer receiving regular dialysis services, a type of treatment for kidney failures.
