“This is another attempt by Israel to make life harder for the people of Gaza amid the ongoing blockade. Israel is the sole supplier of nitrous gas and there is no one else to blame but the Israeli occupation,” al-Qudra added.
Nitrous oxide mixed with oxygen is given to patients to ease the pain and induce sleep prior to surgeries. Experts say replacing nitrous oxide with carbon dioxide will cause cardiac arrest and can lead to death.
According to human rights organizations, hundreds of Gazans have died in past years as a direct result of the choking Israeli blockade.
Al-Dameer Association for Human Rights has called for an international investigation into what it described as a new Israeli crime.
“Israel is known for its crimes against Palestinian patients and the health sectors for many years and we all know that it has been doing experiments on Palestinian prisoners,” Samer Mousa of al-Dameer told Press TV.
“So the switching of medical gas does not come as surprise for us. We are calling on the World Health Organization and the Red Cross to make a thorough investigation into this case,” he added.

I’m not surprised. I am surprised that they didn’t get some other country involved as the supplier of the gas. I guess you start making mistakes when you’re desperate.
Unfreakinbelievable the lengths these monsters will go to to kill people. Even to the point of mudering helpless victims in their sleep – literally.
They’re a cancer on the face of the earth, and this is the ONLY time I would agree with using one of Big Pharmas so-called ‘cures’ for that dread disease.
Radiation.
Do us ALL a favor, Putin, and make good on your threat to turn Israhell into a “glass ashtray”.
I’d like to personally shake your hand if you were to do so.
These people are inhuman. If they’re not harvesting organs, trafficking sex slaves, they’re poisoning hospital patients. There’s no limit to how low these people will sink.
