Health Ministry: Fuel crisis paralyzes hospital departments in Gaza

Gaza’s Health Ministry said the ongoing fuel crisis was affecting the work of the enclave’s remaining functioning health facilities – particularly the use of their generators, oxygen stations and refrigerators for storing medicines, Al Jazeera reported.

“Work is currently at a standstill in many departments of the hospitals that are still in operation,” the ministry said.

It was said that hospitals were implementing strict fuel-saving measures.

“We reiterate our appeal to all international and humanitarian institutions concerned to intervene and quickly provide the fuel necessary to operate the generators,” the statement concluded.
