Fuel crisis forces complete shutdown of Gaza hospital generators

Sunday 5-November-2023

Power generators at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza have stopped working due to a lack of fuel officials at the hospital said.

“Generators in Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza have completely stopped operating due to the severe fuel shortage” director of the hospital Ahmed Kahlut said in a statement on Saturday.

During the past few days the health ministry in Gaza appealed for fuel supply for hospitals’ generators in the war-torn coastal enclave.

It announced last Thursday that the main power generators at the Indonesian Hospital and Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza had shut down.

Such a serious fuel crisis threatens the lives of hundreds of patients including premature babies at Gaza’s hospitals.

Israeli warplanes also bombed the power generator and solar energy panels at Al-Wafa Hospital in central Gaza City on Saturday.
