Neurologist Belal Aldabbour of Shifa Hospital is one of four remaining neurologists in the Gaza Strip. Neurology in Gaza has been difficult for years, and since October 2023 the situation has significantly worsened. Imaging and diagnostic tests such as magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, electromyography, and nerve conduction studies are completely unavailable. The destruction of infrastructure and restrictions on the entry of aid have led to the depletion of epilepsy drugs, immunosuppressants, antispasmodics and life-threatening drugs for patients. Critical states include Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, parkinsonism-hyperpyrexia syndrome, and baclofen withdrawal. Aldabbour treated status epilepticus and meningoencephalitis with oral medications.
