Tuesday, February 6, 2024

The WHO says that, as of Jan. 5, there have been more than 600 attacks on health-care facilities, with 26 out of 36 hospitals in Gaza severely damaged and 79 ambulances targeted.

Key Points: 
  • The WHO says that, as of Jan. 5, there have been more than 600 attacks on health-care facilities, with 26 out of 36 hospitals in Gaza severely damaged and 79 ambulances targeted.
  • Over 300 health-care workers have been killed and over 200 have been detained by Israeli forces.
  • This leaves patients with chronic life-threatening diseases, such as cancer, heart failure and end-stage kidney disease, with severely limited access to the ongoing medical care they need to survive.

Patients unable to access care for chronic conditions

  • As nephrologists and internal medicine physicians, we are gravely concerned about patients in Gaza with chronic diseases who are unable to access care.
  • There are more than 1,100 dialysis patients, including 38 children, in Gaza.
  • Without adequate dialysis, fluid and toxins accumulate and patients typically die within days to weeks from respiratory failure or cardiac arrest.
  • But in a health-care system under assault, patients are fortunate to receive any dialysis at all.

Patients needing life-saving treatment

  • She then attempted to access dialysis at Al-Awda and Kamal Adwan hospitals, but both facilities had insufficient capacity to treat him.
  • This is a tremendous challenge for dialysis patients who are faced with the uncertainty of when, where or if they will access their life-saving therapy.
  • Anssam, age 12, was displaced from Jabaliya in northern Gaza to seek treatment in Deir El Balah in central Gaza.
  • She had gone 15 days without dialysis and had to leave with her mother to receive life-saving medical treatment.

Loss of medical personnel

  • Beyond the destruction of health-care facilities and a critical shortage of supplies, the loss of medical personnel may have the most devastating and longest-lasting impact on the health-care system in Gaza.
  • He had hopes to expand dialysis care in Gaza and build a nephrology educational training program.
  • His loss resonated far beyond his family, patients and colleagues in Gaza.
  • We join the UN, the WHO, MSF and the British Medical Association, along with millions around the world, who call for an immediate ceasefire and unimpeded humanitarian aid.
