Ramallah 5-24– Today, the administration of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central Gaza Strip warned of an imminent health catastrophe in the coming hours due to a fuel shortage.
The health center administration explained in a statement that it provides medical care to more than 1,200 sick and injured people, including 600 patients with kidney failure who need electricity to operate the dialysis service.
He pointed out that the hospital located in the city of Deir al-Balah needs more than four thousand liters of fuel per day to operate.
The text accused Israel of pressuring medical teams and the Strip “to completely stop the work of hospitals in the Gaza Strip.”
He warned that any delay in fuel supplies would mean a death sentence for the sick and wounded.
In recent months, many medical facilities in the coastal strip have closed their doors due to lack of fuel and medicine or due to destruction caused by the Israeli army.
Specifically, after four days of siege, the army of that country yesterday attacked Al-Awda Hospital, north of the Gaza Strip, and expelled the doctors and patients from inside.
In his account on the X website, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, criticized the military operation against the facility.
Earlier this month, the World Health Organization accused Israel of carrying out 443 attacks against this sector in the Strip since the beginning of its military campaign, on October 7.
