Le Centre palestinien pour les Droits de l’Homme (PCHR) appelle le président palestinien Mahmoud Abbas, à intervenir immédiatement pour sauver la vie de ces 450 patients, dont 15 enfants. Leurs vies sont menacées. Il convient de noter que les hôpitaux de la bande de Gaza effectuent 15 dialyses par jour ; il faut donc 150 filtres par jour pour soigner tous les malades.
Le PHCR note que tous ces filtres à dialyses sont disponibles à Ramallah, sans restriction.

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) appeals to the Palestinian President, Mahmoud Abbas, to immediately intervene to save the lives of 450 patients, including 15 children, in the Gaza Strip who suffer from renal failure, as their lives are endangered due to the lack of Dialysis filers, which are vital disposables that function like normal kidneys and serve to remove toxins from the blood during dialyses.
According to investigations conducted by PCHR, on Thursday at noon, 15 December 2011, blood filters ran out at all hospitals in the Gaza Strip, and consequently, dialyses for 450 patients who suffer from renal failure have been stopped.
In the aftermath of this serious development, PCHR participated in a meeting that was held in the office of World Health Organization in Gaza to discuss the serious impacts of the lack of this disposable on the lives of patients. The meeting was attended by figures and international and local organizations that are involved in the health sector.
The participants have concluded that the lack of this disposable seriously endangers the lives of patients, and its lack is the outcome of political differences between the Ministries of Health in Ramallah and Gaza. They have attempted to find mechanisms to provide this disposable but they have not been able as it is fully depleted in medical warehouses and pharmacies, especially in the Gaza Strip. This disposable is available only in the warehouses of the Ministry of Health in Ramallah.
It should be noted that hospitals in the Gaza Strip perform 15 dialyses every day, which requires 150 blood filters.
PCHR expresses utmost concern for the lives of these patients, and appeals to President Mahmoud Abbas to immediately intervene and instruct the Ministry of Health in Ramallah to provide blood filters to the Gaza Strip
immediately and regularly.
