Gaza Dialysis Halved by Supply Shortage
The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip has warned that about 50% of the dialysis machines are at risk of stopping due to a shortage of sodium bicarbonate, which endangers the lives of many kidney failure patients. Twenty-five machines have already gone out of service, increasing the burden on the remaining equipment, leading to a reduction in dialysis sessions from four to three hours and decreasing the number of sessions from three to two per week. This has resulted in the deterioration of the health condition of around 240 patients and an increased risk of cardiac and respiratory complications.
