Hospitals in northern Gaza Strip threatened with shutdown due to fuel shortage

Gaza- Ma'an- Acting Director of Al-Awda Hospital, Mohammad Salha, said that Al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza and all hospitals operating in northern Gaza will go out of service if the fuel needed to operate the generators is not brought in. He confirmed in a statement that reached Ma'an that the hospitals' fuel supply has reached zero and that the quantities of fuel allowed by the occupation forces to enter the north are very limited and are not enough to operate the hospitals at full capacity, despite the hospitals' plan to rationalize fuel consumption. He explained that the hospitals have reached zero fuel supply. He called on the World Health Organization and all partners to pressure the Israeli occupation forces to allow the entry of the fuel needed to operate Al-Awda Hospital and the hospitals operating in northern Gaza.
