Surviving family members are arriving here to bid farewell to those who were killed in overnight attacks.
One attack was on a residential apartment here in the central part of the Deir el-Balah city where a father, mother and their young daughter were killed. In another attack, northeast of Rafah city, a father and his daughter were killed by heavy artillery on their home.
One more person was killed when a drone struck a tent. The man had left his family in Gaza City and had been displaced into the central area over the past month. He had ended up in Deir el-Balah. He was alone when a drone struck his tent.
Kidney patients fight to survive after Israeli soldiers destroy dialysis machines
For kidney patients in Gaza, the war threatens their access to life-sustaining treatment.
“Now I am only treated twice a week, two hours each, and this is not sufficient to sustain my kidney,” Omda Ouda Dogomash said. “Needless to say, we are starving, cannot find clean water and are living in tents. Even the routine medications are no longer available.”
Dr Saeed Khattab is a physician at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah.
“The Israeli occupation forces destroyed all the dialysis machines at al-Shifa Hospital on purpose – 60 machines catering to 350 patients, including children. As a result, all the surviving patients are now being treated here at Al-Aqsa Hospital,” he told Al Jazeera.
“This is a massive load, especially since electricity is not always available. That is why we were forced to reduce the number of hours, but this has a very negative impact on a patient’s health.”
