The only kidney dialysis center in northern Gaza has been destroyed by Israeli forces, leaving over 160 patients without access to life-saving treatment. The Noura al-Kaabi Kidney Dialysis Centre, located in Beit Lahiya and part of the Indonesian Hospital, had only recently resumed operations after earlier damage.
Palestinian health officials say this marks the second attack on the facility in recent weeks. Footage from the scene showed Israeli bulldozers leveling the site. Authorities report that 41% of Gaza’s kidney failure patients have died during the conflict due to a lack of access to dialysis treatment.

This destruction adds to a growing list of healthcare facilities targeted during the ongoing war. At least 36 hospitals across Gaza have been bombed, raided, or besieged, raising serious concerns among human rights groups and prompting warnings of possible war crimes.
Israeli officials have not commented on the recent incident. Meanwhile, the international community is under pressure to act as Gaza’s healthcare system nears complete collapse and humanitarian needs continue to soar.
