Facing My Guilt: I am surviving, but diabetics in Gaza are not - T1International Aug. 2024
"Since the full Israeli blockade of Gaza's borders in October 2023, people with chronic illnesses, like diabetes, have been suffering immensely and are extremely marginalised. The already devastated healthcare infrastructure in Gaza has now virtually collapsed. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) used to be the primary provider of healthcare for diabetics. However, out of a total of 26 centres, UNRWA has lost more than half of its healthcare centers, which went completely out of service."
