Gaza children with type 1 diabetes rely on expired insulin as supplies run out

Families of children with type 1 diabetes in Gaza are struggling to access life-saving medication, relying on expired insulin and depleted supplies of test strips. Doctors at al-Rantisi Children's Hospital warn that expired insulin can cause dangerous spikes in blood sugar or increased acidity, potentially requiring intensive care. For many diabetic children, each injection has become a question of survival.
