GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center ) Aqsa Martyrs Hospital launched on Friday an urgent appeal for the provision of a power generator to help save the lives of thousands of patients and wounded individuals affected by the ongoing Israeli aggression.
As the central medical facility serving hundreds of thousands of residents in central Gaza, the hospital is facing a dire and dangerous crisis due to a severe lack of electricity, which is threatening the lives of patients and the injured.
In the emergency appeal, the hospital explained that its main generators have suffered repeated malfunctions due to constant pressure and harsh operating conditions. Only two generators remain in operation, one medium-capacity and the other small, neither of which meets the minimum requirements to keep critical departments running, such as operating rooms, intensive care units, and neonatal incubators.
The hospital confirmed its immediate readiness to purchase any available generator with a capacity of around 400 KVA or more to ensure continuous electricity flow and the uninterrupted provision of life-saving medical services.
A heartfelt call was issued to the Palestinian people, as well as to international, humanitarian, and civil society organizations, and to anyone who possesses or can provide a generator that meets these specifications, to contact the hospital urgently, out of commitment to the right of patients to treatment and our shared duty to save lives.
“Saving innocent lives and ensuring access to healthcare is a humanitarian and moral obligation,” the hospital statement concluded.
