Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza Strip launched a distress call on Friday due to the lack of fuel to power hospitals and medical centers.
Spokesman for the Ministry Ashraf al-Qudra warned that tough decisions would be taken if the current fuel crisis continues.
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.
