Gaza Hospitals Face Oxygen Shortage
The Ministry of Health in Gaza has warned of the worsening oxygen crisis in hospitals, as the operational capacity of all remaining oxygen stations has been exhausted. The stations are operating beyond their limits due to frequent failures and maintenance difficulties. Data indicates that only 12 out of 34 stations are still functioning, with a significant decline in cylinder filling devices, leaving only 4 of 30 devices operational, and the ministry fears they could stop at any moment. Oxygen is a vital necessity for patients and healthcare systems, and there are concerns that the potential shutdown of these stations could severely impair hospitals' ability to provide oxygen to patients. Additionally, obstacles persist in importing spare parts and equipment, amidst a severe shortage of medicines and medical supplies. Hospitals are under increased pressure, with occupancy rates exceeding 130%, and 26 out of 38 hospitals have ceased operations, deepening the health crisis and threatening patients’ lives across the sector.
