Kidney patients in Gaza increasingly struggle to get care, with just one crowded medical facility offering dialysis in the central part of the enclave, Al Jazeera reports.
“Before the war, we used to reach the hospital with comfort. Now we cannot even transport my husband on a donkey cart,” said Yousra Saleh, whose 70-year-old husband requires dialysis.
“I have to push his wheelchair all the way to the hospital on rough terrain flooded with sewage and under Israeli bombardment,” she said.
Once at the hospital, treatment is limited.
“Each patient is receiving only half the amount of treatment they need,” said Tareq Abu Azra, a nurse in Al Aqsa Hospital’s kidney ward, describing the care as life or death.
