Gaza health authorities are facing a serious energy crisis that threatens the operation of hospitals and oxygen stations in the Gaza Strip.
Health facilities in the enclave will cease to operate in the next 48 hours due to the exhaustion of the fuel needed to supply them.
This critical situation is the direct consequence of the prolonged aggression carried out by Israel against the Ghazawi population for nine months now.
In a statement, the Ministry of Health in Gaza warned this Sunday that “the remaining hospitals, health centers and oxygen stations will cease operating within 48 hours.”
This critical situation is due to the lack of fuel needed to power the electric generators, which the Zionist occupation “prohibits from entering Gaza, like other basic products such as medicine and food, as part of the tightening of the noose on the Gaza Strip.”
The ministry explained that despite the “severe and austerity measures” taken to preserve the remaining quantities of fuel for as long as possible, the stock is now almost exhausted.
This shortage jeopardizes the functioning of essential health structures in a context where Gaza is already suffering the disastrous consequences of the war.
Since October 7, 2023, the Israeli offensive has claimed more than 124,000 lives, including many civilians, and led to massive destruction and food shortages.
Faced with this unprecedented humanitarian crisis, the Ministry of Health has launched an urgent appeal to all relevant institutions, international and humanitarian, to intervene quickly to deliver the necessary fuel, in addition to the electric generators and spare parts needed for maintenance.
The situation is all the more critical as hospitals in Gaza play an essential role in caring for the numerous victims of the war. With the imminent depletion of fuel, thousands of lives are at risk.
These health structures are also necessary for the care of victims of bombings representing disabilities of different levels.

Palestinian Authority, Network Rehabilitation Sector, approximately 10,000 Palestinians find themselves with varying levels of disabilities, a direct consequence of the Zionist attacks which have continued for nine months on the Gaza Strip.
The NGO published a report containing a stern warning about the serious repercussions of the ongoing Zionist aggression against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In the report, the group highlighted that the ongoing genocidal war “has led to the displacement of tens of thousands of people with special needs, subjecting them to harsh living conditions, without accessibility or access to medical supplies and assistive devices.” necessary, and are also facing deep psychological distress.”
The Palestinian organization notably reported that the attacks not only caused physical harm to thousands of Palestinians, including permanent disabilities, but also severely hampered movement and access to essential services for people with specific needs.
