War on hospitals: Israel destroys North Gaza's only dialysis center

The Israeli military has completely demolished the Noura al-Kaabi dialysis center, the only medical facility providing kidney dialysis to Palestinian patients in the northern Gaza Strip.

In an X post on Sunday, Director General of Gaza's Health Ministry Muneer al-Boursh shared images of the bombed-out center in the city of Beit Lahiya.

He said the healthcare facility had been providing vital care to more than 160 kidney failure patients despite severe shortages of fuel and medical supplies.

The center, which is part of the Indonesian hospital, had been renovated and reopened just weeks ago after a previous Israeli assault.

The Gaza Health Ministry said in a statement that the Israeli attack on the Noura al-Kaabi dialysis center is "a death sentence for hundreds of patients," whose health is "at risk of catastrophic and irreversible collapse."

Over the course of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, 41 percent of kidney failure patients in Gaza have died after being denied access to dialysis centers amid the destruction of healthcare facilities, it added.

'5 cancer patients die daily in war-wracked Gaza'

Also on Sunday, the director of the al-Shifa hospital said five cancer patients die daily in their homes in the Gaza Strip due to the lack of medical care caused by Israel's brutal onslaught and siege.

Gaza hospitals are suffering from a shortage of clean water, even in kidney dialysis units, the Palestinian Safa news agency quoted Mohammed Abu Salmiya as saying.

"We are losing many patients and wounded due to the shortage of blood units," he said.

Israel launched its Gaza genocide on October 7, 2023, after the Hamas resistance movement carried out a military operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for the regime's intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 54,418 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 124,190 others, in the besieged territory.

During its bloody aggression, Israel has targeted Gaza's civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and schools, in blatant violation of international law.
