Khan Younis hospital registers first death from kidney failure

Palestinian journalist Abubaker Abed reported on Wednesday that the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis registered its first patient death from kidney failure.

The kidney failure was caused by the hospital's lack of fuel, which is needed to run its dialysis machine, Abed reported.

Earlier on Wednesday, Hamas accused Israel of hindering fuel deliveries to Gaza's hospitals, and called on the UN to assist the enclave's healthcare facilities.
