The Director General of Health in the Gaza Governorate, Mahmoud Hammad, announced to Tel Aviv Tribune that the only oxygen station in the governorate had stopped due to running out of fuel.
Hammad warned that the situation threatens a humanitarian catastrophe and threatens the lives of dozens of patients with inevitable death.
Hammad also pointed out that functioning health facilities have stopped and that rare medicines in the refrigerators of health stores have been destroyed due to the ban on the entry of fuel.
Malnutrition, or what some describe as lack of food, in the Gaza Strip has led to more deaths of children, including newborns.
This is happening while the Israeli war on Gaza continues, and the Palestinian health system there is collapsing. Doctors warn of more deaths of children in particular, as the war and siege on the residents of the Gaza Strip continue.
On the other hand, the Civil Defense Service in the Gaza Strip announced that 50% of its vehicles had stopped in the city of Rafah, south of the Strip, as a result of the fuel shortage and the Israeli targeting of maintenance workshops.
The agency said in a statement, “We suffer from a scarcity of capabilities in light of the war of extermination against which Palestinian society is exposed.”
He explained that this directly affected our interventions and urgent response, and these malfunctions caused the injured and martyrs to be transported in fire engines in the Rafah and Central governorates.
He continued: We suffer from a scarcity of capabilities in light of the war of extermination to which Palestinian society is exposed.
Since last October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza with absolute American support, leaving more than 123,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, putting Tel Aviv into international isolation and causing it to be prosecuted before the International Court of Justice.
Israel continues its war despite two UN Security Council resolutions to stop it immediately, and orders from the International Court of Justice to end the invasion of Rafah, take measures to prevent acts of genocide, and improve the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
