The only facility providing life-saving dialysis for children in northern Gaza is working again after being attacked by the Israeli military, Al Jazeera reports.
Dr Nabil Ayad, head of the nephrology department at Al-Rantisi Hospital for Children, said before Israel’s offensive on Gaza, the dialysis unit operated 14 machines and provided treatment to 45 Palestinian children.
“Each received dialysis three times a week for four hours a session. But after the army bombed the facility, a few children died without the procedure or the required medication,” said Ayad.
“During the war, this unit was partially destroyed. We tried multiple times to restore operations, and eventually, we managed to repair and reopen the unit and begin accepting dialysis patients. Right now, we are providing hemodialysis to 12 children,” he added.
