Al-Awda Hospital was forced to suspend most activities due to a fuel shortage.

“The Gaza Strip Ministry of Health warned today, Sunday, of the risk that hospital generators could stop operating amid a worsening crisis related to a shortage of fuel and spare parts needed to operate and maintain them, threatening the continuity of essential health services”

The hospital houses 60 patients and receives about a thousand daily.

About 90 generators were directly targeted by Israeli forces.

Generators have been running at full capacity for more than two years.

Reducing generator hours threatens patients in intensive care and dialysis.

The ceasefire envisioned 600 trucks per day, but only 100 to 300 get through.

“War in the Gaza Strip: a Gaza hospital in Nuseirat, located in the center of the enclave, no longer has enough diesel to run all of its electric generators”

The hospital consumed 1,000 to 1,200 liters of diesel daily.

Current reserves did not exceed 800 liters.

The hospital sector has been hard hit by the conflict.

Facilities have been repeatedly bombed.
