The spokesperson of Gaza’s health ministry Ashraf Qudra called Saturday upon all competent authorities to urgently intervene and provide fuel for Gaza’s hospitals.
Speaking to the PIC reporter Qudra pointed out that Mohamed al-Durrah children’s hospital would be out of commission due to the power shortage.
It further warned of the terrible consequences of a lack of fuel on the lives of patients.
Earlier Friday the health ministry in Gaza Strip launched a distress call on Friday due to the lack of fuel to power hospitals and medical centers.
420000 liters of fuel are usually needed per month to supply the health system in Gaza Strip.
Gaza’s power plant has not run at full capacity in years as the enclave has experienced severe electricity shortages over the past years exacerbating already dire living conditions in the besieged Strip.
