Gaza hospitals are within hours of losing power as the fuel embargo continues, following the Israeli army rejecting demands from a UN agency to allow fuel into the blockaded Gaza Strip amid relentless airstrikes on the Palestinian territory.

Gaza hospital generators to run out of fuel in 48 hours: Health Ministry

The healthcare system has reached its worst stage in history, a spokesperson says, calling for more aid into the enclave.

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip has warned that the electric generators in hospitals will cease functioning within the next 48 hours due to a fuel shortage, amid intensified air raids by Israel on the besieged enclave.

Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra said in a brief statement on Telegram early on Tuesday that the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza is “slow and cannot change the reality” on the ground.

“The healthcare system has reached its worst stage in its history,” he added

On Monday, the ministry said 32 health centres were out of service after Israel cut off access to essential supplies, including fuel, as it carries out a bombing campaign that has destroyed entire neighbourhoods and brought humanitarian conditions to a breaking point
