Gaza: The administration of Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital in the Central Governorate announced that the electricity supply within the hospital had been restarted after a partial supply of fuel sufficient for only three days. 15,000 liters of fuel were supplied on Friday morning, and the hospital returned to work.
The hospital administration confirmed that it needs 4,000 to 5,000 liters of fuel per day to ensure continuity of work.
She added: “Over the past few hours, the hospital has gone through a real crisis during which it almost lost many patients and wounded due to the power outage resulting from the failure to supply fuel to the hospital’s electric generator, which has always warned us against falling into this stifling health crisis.”
I thanked all the parties that I contacted after announcing our fear that the hospital would stop working. We thank them for their keenness and response to the humanitarian appeal that we launched in this context, led by the World Health Organization and the International R
ed Cross, who contacted us to address this crisis and remedy it as quickly as possible.
She explained that the hospital is in constant need of maintaining the generators on which it relies to operate electricity, and we hope that the relevant organizations will adopt this important requirement, noting that it needs a stock of fuel in order to ensure the continuity of work and not to fall into new crises.
It held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the crime of targeting the health sector, and creating a health and humanitarian crisis by destroying and putting hospitals out of work, and we call on the international community and all countries of the world to put pressure on the occupation to stop the war and stop targeting the health sector
