On Tuesday, the Director General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanum Gebrisos, condemned the Israeli bombing of the Noura Dialysis Center in northern Gaza.
Gebrisos said in a post on the X platform that the Noura dialysis center in northern Gaza is now a pile of rubble.
He pointed out that the destruction of this health facility exposes the lives of patients with kidney failure at direct danger.
He pointed out that the center was providing its services to 40 patients per week before the Israeli attacks.

Gebrisus said that the World Health Organization has transported 20 dialysis devices out of 23 devices that were located in the center to a safe place.
He reiterated his call for a ceasefire, calling for the protection of all health facilities and their workers urgently.
In his publication, he also published a comparative photo of the center’s building in its proper case last year, and a new image showing its transformation into a pile of rubble.
On Sunday, the Israeli army destroyed the only dialysis center that provides its services to the governorates of Gaza and the northern Gaza Strip, after the past two weeks took 3 hospitals that were partially operating in the North Governorate.
Destruction of the health system
This comes within the framework of Israel’s assistance to the health regime systematically destroying since the start of the genocide war against the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip 20 months ago.
In a statement published on Sunday evening, the Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the Israeli army blew up the Noura Al -Kaabi dialysis center in the northern Gaza Strip.
The ministry added that the destruction of the center puts the health status of kidney patients in northern Gaza in front of a catastrophe whose results cannot be expected.
She explained that 41 percent of patients with kidney failure died during the genocide war as a result of depriving them of reaching the washing centers and after the destruction of the centers and departments allocated to them.
During the past two weeks, medical sources told Anatolia that the Israeli army has forcibly removed the hospitals of Al -Awda, the Indonesian and Kamal Adwan from service, as a result of direct targeting and the continuous siege.
At the end of last May, the Ministry of Health in Gaza said that 22 out of 38 hospitals in the sector were out of service due to Israeli targeting, amid almost complete collapse in the health system.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders to the International Court of Justice to stop it.
The genocide left more than 179 thousand martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11 thousand missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced people.
