Gaza kidney patients near death over dollar
Patients with kidney failure in the Gaza Strip are facing a significant risk due to a shortage of sodium bicarbonate, a vital component of their treatment. This shortage costs barely a dollar, yet it threatens the lives of approximately 650 patients. The crisis has led to a reduction in dialysis sessions from three to two per week and a decrease in session duration, increasing the risk of toxin and fluid buildup in patients' bodies and jeopardizing the continuity of their treatment. Officials warn that if the shortage persists, dialysis services could come to a complete halt, putting patients' lives at grave risk amidst the deteriorating health and humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
