Gaza’s Al-Rantisi Hospital goes out of service, leaving 38 children with kidney failure in danger
“Thirty-eight children suffering from kidney failure are deprived of dialysis services after the Al-Rantisi Specialized Hospital for Children, the only hospital specialized for children in the Gaza Strip, stopped as it ran out of fuel,” said Ashraf Al-Qudra, the spokesman for the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier in the day, Al-Qudra announced the cessation of all medical services for children at Al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital and Al-Nasr Hospital due to a shortage of fuel. He said the intensive care and nursery departments would remain operational, relying on small generators.
Israel has launched relentless air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7.
At least 10,569 Palestinians have been killed, including 4,324 children and 2,823 women. The Israeli death toll, meanwhile, is nearly 1,600, according to official figures.
