Abstract

Background: Children with kidney failure in Gaza are particularly vulnerable because of the conflict.

Aim: To document the condition of children with kidney disease in Gaza and the impact of the October 2023 war on their health.

Methods: We report the experience of children with kidney disease in Gaza, including those supported by Children Not Numbers.

Results: Of the 45 children who lived with kidney failure in Gaza, Children Not Numbers supported 18. Six of those supported by Children Not Numbers were on haemodialysis and had significant electrolyte abnormalities. Ten of the children, among those not supported by Children Not Numbers, died of kidney failure due to inadequate access to dialysis.

Conclusion: Children with kidney failure in Gaza currently have suboptimal access to dialysis and transplant, thus reducing their chances of survival. Urgent actions are needed to enable them to access life-sustaining treatment and care.

加沙肾衰竭儿童的经历。

背景：由于冲突，患有肾衰竭的加沙儿童特别容易受到伤害。目的：记录加沙肾病儿童的状况以及2023年10月战争对他们健康的影响。方法：我们报告了加沙患有肾病的儿童的经历，包括那些由“儿童无数字”组织支持的儿童。结果：在加沙45名患有肾衰竭的儿童中，“儿童无数字”组织支持了18名儿童。其中6名儿童接受了血液透析，并有明显的电解质异常。在那些没有得到“没有数字的儿童”支持的儿童中，有10名儿童由于无法获得充分的透析而死于肾衰竭。结论：加沙地区肾衰竭儿童目前获得透析和移植的机会不够理想，从而降低了他们的生存机会。需要采取紧急行动，使他们能够获得维持生命的治疗和护理。
