Director of the Hospital Pharmacy Department at the Ministry of Health, Alaa Helles, warned of the cessation of dialysis services in Gaza Strip hospitals due to the acute shortage of medical consumables needed for dialysis.

Helles stated in a press statement that this poses a threat to the lives of 1,100 patients with kidney failure, including 38 children, each of whom needs 3 dialysis sessions per week to remove toxins from their fragile bodies and keep them alive.

Helles explained that the central warehouses have become completely empty of medical consumables for dialysis services, including filters, cannulas, and blood tubes, pointing out that what is available in hospital dialysis departments is only sufficient for 10 days at most.

Hillis explained that the Ministry of Health’s hospitals provide more than 13,000 dialysis sessions for kidney failure patients every month, which represents life to them, which requires all relevant authorities to take urgent action in order to provide the needs of kidney failure patients for medical consumables, which means continuing service for them and maintaining On their lives.
