An 11-year-old in Gaza faces kidney failure without urgent medical evacuation
Prolonged malnutrition and successive complications have sharpened his condition.
Doctors treating Ibrahim Al-Shaer, aged 11, say prolonged malnutrition and a series of medical complications have caused his condition to deteriorate sharply, placing him at risk of kidney failure without urgent medical evacuation.
Medical evacuation from Gaza requires coordination and approvals that can take weeks, a timeline set by procedure rather than by the patient's condition.
His case is one of a number cited by medical staff in which a treatable condition becomes life-threatening while approval is pending.
