Claim
OCHA relayed a reported Al Shifa dialysis shortage in July 2026.
Summary
This is a dated attribution to OCHA, which explicitly relays Gaza Ministry of Health reporting; it is not an independent clinical audit. The source describes underfunding and consumable shortages, approximately 25 of 52 machines out of service, and emergency measures maintaining partial coverage. About 240 is the affected patient caseload, not a death count. The Gaza reporting period is 22-28 June unless specified; publication is 4 July. No patient records or independent supply audit were provided. The report also describes continuing Health Cluster work with partners and donors. No finding of deliberate deprivation, responsibility, crime or current clinical status is made.
