Jenin hospital suspends dialysis services: Reports
The Jenin Government Hospital announced it had suspended its daily dialysis services due to ongoing disruptions in essential supplies caused by the Israeli military siege of the city, according to Wafa, the Palestinian news agency.
The hospital has been under Israeli military siege for the past four days, leading to severe operational challenges, Wafa reported.
Citing a press statement issued by the hospital, Wafa said Israeli forces had damaged the electricity supply line to the hospital, and the backup generators have been running continuously for four days.
The news agency also said the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) had reported that Israeli forces had obstructed their ambulance teams from retrieving the bodies of two deceased individuals from inside the Jenin refugee camp.
