Gaza’s al-Aqsa Hospital faces imminent shutdown due to fuel shortage: Government
Gaza’s Government Media Office says in a statement that Deir el-Balah’s al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is once again facing an imminent risk of shutdown.
It comes after Israeli forces blocked the supply of fuel on Sunday afternoon. This threatens to “stop health services during the next few hours for all departments of the hospital” and lead to a catastrophe, according to the office.
The government called on the international community to pressure Israel to supply 50,000 litres (13,208 gallons) of fuel to the hospital to ensure it can function for at least 10 days.
“The hospital administration holds the Israeli occupation and the American administration fully responsible for this terrible crime,” it said.
Gaza hospitals operating under ‘medieval’ conditions: UK doctor
Gaza hospitals are reduced to practicing “medieval medicine”, according to a British surgeon who recently returned from the besieged Palestinian enclave.
“It’s absolutely true to describe it as medieval medicine. It is what you would hear about or read about what would be happening in Europe maybe 300, 400 years ago,” Dr Khaled Dawas, the head of gastrointestinal surgery at University College London Hospitals, told the AFP news agency.
Dawas described dire conditions in Gaza with medical staff operating virtually without supplies, with intermittent power supplies and patients lying on the floor.
The 54-year-old surgeon, an Arabic speaker who has Palestinian parents, said many people in Gaza wounded or needing other medical attention tried to avoid going to the hospitals because it “means pretty much a death sentence”.
That was “because of the wound infections because of the conditions”.
Two people killed in Israeli attack on Rafah hospital: Gaza Health Ministry
The ministry says it condemns what it calls Israel’s “heinous crime” of targeting health teams at the Kuwaiti Hospital in the southern Gaza city and the killing of two health workers there.
It added the attack “confirms the occupation’s intention to annihilate and collapse the health system in the Gaza Strip”.
“We appeal to the international community and international and human rights organisations to intervene to protect health facilities and their workers from terrorism, killing and destruction by the Israeli occupation,” the ministry asserted.
