Sulaiman said in a press statement that the power generators of the hospital which offers services to 340000 Palestinians will stop working in the coming two days because of the growing fuel shortage.

Spokesman for Gaza’s Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qedra called on concerned authorities to urgently work toward ending the power crisis in Gaza hospitals and other health facilities.

Al-Qedra warned of a possible halt of services at Gaza hospitals threatening the lives of many.
