Gaza Health Ministry Reports Oil Shortage for Hospital Generators
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza has warned that oil supplies necessary for operating generators are running out, which threatens an imminent mechanical collapse of the active generators. This puts vital and life-saving sections at risk, including intensive care units and surgeries, as hospitals depend on electricity to run critical medical equipment. The monthly oil requirement has exceeded 2,500 liters to ensure continued operation. The generators have been damaged by prolonged operation without proper maintenance and spare parts, increasing the likelihood of them ceasing to function and endangering essential medical services in the sector. The ministry has called on relevant authorities and international organizations to intervene urgently to ensure the availability of oils and spare parts, warning that ongoing shortages threaten patients' lives and undermine hospitals' ability to provide necessary care.
