Fuel depletion halts services at five health facilities in Gaza

GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center)  One hospital, four clinics and health centers, and the central oxygen station in the Gaza Strip have ceased operations after completely running out of fuel, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

“After repeated warnings, we announce the suspension of services at the following health facilities — the Public Aid Hospital, the central oxygen station, as-Salam Clinic, ash-Shati Clinic, al-Jalaa Medical Center, and Haidar Abdul-Shafi Medical Center — due to the occupation’s insistence on banning the World Health Organization from delivering fuel to hospitals in Gaza City and northern Gaza,” the health ministry said in a brief statement on Tuesday.

The ministry warned that other hospitals would cease their operations within 48 hours.
