Failure to provide fuel to hospitals poses ‘real danger’ to patients: Health Ministry in Gaza
GAZA CITY, Palestine (AA) – The Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip has warned of the “real danger” to the lives of the wounded and sick people if fuel is not provided to hospitals in the besieged enclave.
“Failing to immediately supply hospitals in Gaza with fuel poses a real danger to the wounded and sick,” Ashraf Al-Qudra, a ministry spokesman, said in a statement.
Earlier, a 20-truck humanitarian convoy began to enter the Gaza Strip from the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing.
The war on Gaza, under Israeli bombardment and blockade since October 7, has unfolded a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented proportions.
At least 4,385 Palestinians, including 1,756 children and 1,000 women have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza.
