Heat worsens insulin damage in Gaza diabetics
Patients with diabetes in Gaza face a severe crisis due to a shortage of insulin and blood sugar testing strips. Additionally, storage conditions have worsened because of high temperatures and lack of refrigeration, especially in displaced persons camps that lack electricity and cooling facilities. This situation leads to the deterioration of medications and reduced effectiveness, making it harder to control blood sugar levels and threatening patients' lives. Although some insulin shipments have arrived with the help of the UAE and the World Health Organization, the shortage persists—particularly of insulin analogs for type 1 diabetes patients—doubling the challenges these patients face in maintaining their treatment under such harsh conditions.
