A Gaza patient suffering from kidney disease shares her desperate wait among 22,000 others needing urgent medical evacuation. Al-Shifa Hospital, where she is treated, has been severely damaged. Medicine and equipment shortages force doctors to treat based on availability, not medical need. She says, “I don’t know whether what I am receiving can actually be termed 'treatment' or if it is only an attempt to postpone the inevitable.” Before the war, patients could travel to the West Bank for care. Now, most hospitals are destroyed or damaged, medicine is scarce, and the Rafah border crossing with Egypt has been closed since May 2024. The patient explains, “Essential medications vanished, including painkillers and antibiotics.” Her kidney condition worsened due to contaminated water, lack of drugs, and damaged medical facilities. She lost 24 kg and faces extreme fatigue. The patient states, “My current state of complete health collapse is the direct result of a healthcare system that was purposefully demolished and denied the opportunity to give adequate care to its patients.” She felt hope when the Rafah crossing briefly reopened, but only five critical patients left, and relatives with no illness passed through due to having “connections.” She calls this “the double cruelty ill Palestinians face.” Despite uncertainty, her motivation remains her son Zakaria. She says, “In Gaza, the human body is no longer a carrier of life and dreams but a record of survival.” Patients and doctors fight daily in a collapsed system. She hopes the world will hear their cry for help.
