Gaza’s health system could collapse due to fuel shortage, Hamas health authority warns
The Hamas-run health ministry on Monday warned that the health system in the Gaza Strip could collapse within hours due to a severe fuel shortage.
“As a result of the failure to bring the needed fuel to power hospital electricity generators, ambulances, and transport employees to their workplaces, the health system will collapse in a few hours.
“Since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict seven months ago, the health authorities can barely deal with the high number of casualties,” said the health ministry in a statement.
It added that its staff work around the clock daily to provide services to the people in Gaza.
On May 5, the Israeli army closed the Kerem Shalom crossing, a key entry point for humanitarian aid into Gaza, right after a Hamas rocket attacked and killed four Israeli soldiers nearby.
