GAZA, (PIC)
Gaza’s remaining hospitals, health centers and oxygen stations will stop working within 48 hours as the fuel needed to operate generators has almost run out, the health ministry warned in a statement on Sunday.
“This situation was expected … because the occupation has restricted the entry of fuel shipments as well as basic supplies such as medicine and food as part of its tight siege on the Strip,” the health ministry said.
The ministry said that the fuel supplies started to run out despite the harsh measures that had been taken to reduce fuel consumption.
The ministry appealed to all UN and international humanitarian organizations to intervene quickly to provide the hospitals and health centers in Gaza with their fuel needs as well as power generators and spare parts for maintenance.
