GAZA, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), Gaza’s health ministry has warned that the critical shortage of lubricating oil risks breaking down remaining power generators and cutting off electricity to life-saving hospital departments.
Hospital generators, already running continuously beyond their operational capacity, face imminent mechanical failures in the absence of lubricants, essential maintenance, and spare parts, the health ministry said in a press release on Wednesday.
The ministry said hospitals require more than 2,500 liters of lubricating oil each month to keep generators running.
The ministry urged the international community to fulfill its humanitarian obligations by urgently supplying Gaza’s hospitals with lubricating oils and spare parts to ensure the continued operation of their generators.
