The Palestine Red Crescent said that all services at the Jerusalem Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip will cease within three hours because of a lack of fuel, which it attributed to the Israeli blockade, Anadolu Agency reports.

A statement emphasised that in such a situation, 500 patients and the injured would be deprived of health services. It said patients in intensive care, as well as babies in incubators, would lose their lives.

The Palestine Red Crescent had previously reported that gunfire had been directed at the intensive care unit of the Jerusalem Hospital.
