More than 100 premature babies in Gaza at risk as hospitals run out of fuel
Briefly

Officials have warned that ongoing fuel shortages caused by Israel's siege are threatening to shut down electricity at al-Shifa and Nasser hospitals. These facilities are facing dire conditions as they issue urgent pleas for assistance, indicating that without fuel, critical medical operations will cease. Al-Shifa Hospital's director has noted the imminent risk to over 100 premature babies and 350 dialysis patients, stating that a hospital devoid of oxygen cannot operate. The Nasser Medical Complex expressed its urgency, emphasizing the narrow time window they have to prevent catastrophic outcomes due to dwindling fuel supplies.
Muhammad Abu Salmiyah, the director of al-Shifa Hospital, stated that without sufficient fuel, oxygen stations will stop functioning, effectively turning hospitals into graveyards.
The Nasser Medical Complex warned that they are in the final hours due to looming fuel shortages, urging for immediate help to avoid a crisis.
