41% of Kidney Failure Patients in Gaza die during aggression
Gaza – SABA: The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Monday that 41% of kidney failure patients have died during the ongoing Zionist aggression on Gaza, due to being denied access to dialysis centers and the destruction of facilities dedicated to their care. In a press statement, the ministry confirmed that Israeli forces demolished the Noura Al-Kaabi Dialysis Center in northern Gaza, which had been providing essential dialysis services to kidney patients. The ministry warned of the severe consequences of the center's destruction on the health of kidney patients, describing the situation as a 'disaster with unforeseeable outcomes.' It noted that the occupation forces are systematically working to eliminate hospitals and specialized care centers from northern Gaza. A report by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, issued on May 20, highlighted that 41% of kidney failure patients have died due to repeated displacement and the drastic reduction in dialysis hours from 12 to just 4 hours per week. The report further revealed that six out of the seven centers providing dialysis services in Gaza have been either completely destroyed or rendered inoperable—four in Gaza City and the northern governorates, and two in the central and southern areas. It added that 472 kidney failure patients—41% of the total 1,200 patients—have died since October 7, with the majority of deaths occurring in Gaza City and the north. The fatalities were primarily due to the destruction of dialysis centers and the patients' inability to attend their sessions regularly, which led to the deterioration of their health and ultimately their deaths.

Report: Israel Slowly Killing Gaza's Cancer Patients Through Delays and Denial of Care
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights has accused Israel of systematically denying cancer patients in Gaza access to treatment, calling it a slow, deliberate act of genocide. In a new report titled 'The Deadly Wait,' the center highlights the devastating impact of Israel's destruction of Gaza's only cancer hospital—the Turkish Friendship Hospital—in March 2025. That attack, combined with strict travel restrictions, has left over 12,500 cancer patients without adequate care. More than 91% of patients have been barred from traveling outside the Strip for treatment. The result: hundreds have died over the past year and a half, and about 2,700 patients are now in critical condition with nowhere to turn. Medical supplies are also dangerously low—over 85% of essential cancer medications are unavailable. The report describes this as intentional neglect that inflicts deep physical and psychological harm. Only around 1,100 patients—mostly women and children—have managed to travel for treatment, highlighting what the center says is Israel's use of healthcare as a weapon of collective punishment. Patients are also being forced to live in overcrowded shelters and tents after repeated displacement. Many have given up on treatment entirely due to poor living conditions and lack of medical access. The report condemns Israel's 'sterile travel process,' which requires patients to get security approval to leave, without any guarantee they'll be allowed to return. This tactic, the center says, turns medical travel into a tool for forced displacement—something it calls a war crime under international law. The center is urging immediate international intervention to protect patients and hold Israel accountable for what it calls crimes against humanity. Shortlink for this post:

The center stated, "Four out of five individuals of working age were left without a source of income," explaining that "the overall unemployment rate in the West Bank after the war reached approximately 35%." It added, "The war destroyed approximately 90% of the housing, infrastructure, and industrial, commercial, agricultural, and service facilities in the Gaza Strip." The center noted that the enemy prevented workers from accessing agricultural lands and fishing at sea. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Also, the UNRWA announced on Thursday that about 660,000 children in the Gaza Strip are not receiving any schooling due to the war. Temporary education activities in the Gaza Strip have been severely affected by the resumption of Israeli shelling, the UN agency added. Recent Israeli displacement orders in the Gaza Strip have made it more difficult for children to access psychosocial and recreational support, the UNRWA stated.
