Gaza’s health ministry has warned that the hospital’s generators will stop working in the next 48 hours due to a lack of fuel amid Israel’s intensified airstrikes on the besieged area.
Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said in a brief statement via Telegram on Tuesday that the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza was “slow and unable to change the reality.”
He added: “The health system has reached its worst stage in its history.”
On Monday, the Health Ministry said 32 health centers were inoperable after Israel cut off access to essential supplies, including fuel, while waging a bombing campaign that devastated entire neighborhoods and shattered humanitarian conditions.
He called on the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross to deliver fuel and blood to isolated areas and said urgent hospital needs should be prioritized in distributing aid.
An Indonesian hospital in Beit Lahiya, in the northern Gaza Strip, was closed on Monday after a power outage left it unable to provide vital services.
Meanwhile, a convoy of humanitarian trucks delivered water, food and medicine to Gaza on Monday, the third since limited aid began arriving on Saturday.
The United Nations said the fuel had run out and would run out in two days.
Israel launched heavy airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on October 7 following attacks by Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip in southern Israel, killing more than 1,400 people, mostly civilians.
Israeli attacks have killed more than 5,000 Palestinians, and Gaza’s Health Ministry said nearly 40 percent of the victims were children.
