Gaza officials warn health system ‘hours from collapse’ due to fuel shortage
Palestinian Territories — AFP
Amid unprecedented Israeli attacks, the health ministry in Gaza has announced that the besieged Palestinian territory’s health system is “hours away” from complete collapse, after the ongoing Israeli attacks have completely blocked fuel shipments through key crossings.
“We are just hours away from the collapse of the health system in the Gaza Strip due to the lack of the necessary fuel to operate generators in hospitals, ambulances, and (for vehicles to) transport staff,” the ministry said in a statement.
This grave situation is likely to exacerbate the suffering of the people of Gaza, who now have absolutely no refuge or escape from one of the most violent, bloody and brutal military campaigns in modern history.
