GAZA, (PIC)
The administration of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the Central Gaza Governorate announced that the fuel in the hospital is about to run out, threatening a humanitarian crisis and cessation of health service.
The hospital administration explained that the main medical facility is about to run out of fuel within the next 48 hours, demanding immediate fuel supply, noting that it is the last remaining hospital that provides health services in the Gaza Strip, after Israeli occupation warplanes had destroyed the health sector in the Strip, knocking 33 hospitals completely out of service.
For its part, the Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza held Israel, the US administration, and all competent and relevant authorities fully responsible for any calamity that may result from fuel stoppage.
The GMO added, in a press statement on Friday, “There is a real crisis looming, threatening the lives of patients and children, especially the wounded and those who are receiving intensive healthcare as well as those in nursery departments.”
The GMO urged all UN organizations and international institutions to bring in fuel to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital as quickly as possible before it is too late.
The Office also called for immediate and urgent intervention to rehabilitate and restore all hospitals in the Strip and to supply them with fuel, warning of a looming humanitarian catastrophe that would kill thousands of people.
