Gazan hospitals face fuel shortage
The Gaza Strip is facing a severe electricity crisis due to shortages of fuel, engine oil, and spare parts. This has led to the shutdown of many hospital generators and put patients' lives at risk. Since the Israeli military assault began in October 2023, power supplies from the national grid have been interrupted, and Israel has imposed restrictions on fuel imports, worsening the humanitarian and medical crisis in the area. Hospitals rely on generators that suffer from poor maintenance and fuel shortages, forcing them to cut back on electricity hours. The cost of private generators has also soared for residents, with fuel prices reaching $1,300 per liter compared to just $3 before the war, making it impossible for many to meet their basic needs for water and electricity.
