Overview

• The Israeli military bombed the Noura al-Kaabi Dialysis Hospital in early June and deployed excavators to fully demolish the only facility offering dialysis in northern Gaza.
• Before its destruction the centre had just resumed operations after renovations and was providing life-saving care to more than 160 kidney patients.
• Palestinian health officials warn the loss of the centre poses a “catastrophic threat” to kidney-failure patients, noting 41 percent of Gaza’s dialysis patients died during the conflict due to targeted service restrictions.
• Eyewitness videos show military bulldozers systematically wrecking the facility, reflecting a broader pattern of damage to Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure.
• Global health agencies, including the World Health Organization, have condemned the attack and urged compliance with international laws protecting medical sites in war zones.
