The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, has warned about the critical shortage of fuel and medical supplies, emphasizing it poses a threat to the lives of many injured amid the ongoing Israeli incursion since last October, Anadolu Agency reports.

Hospital spokesman Khalil Al-Dakran told Anadolu about the danger of surgical operating rooms stopping work due to the severe shortage of medical supplies, medicines and fuel.

“We are unable to perform operations due to insufficient operating rooms, a lack of anesthesia, and the necessary medical tools and supplies,” Al-Dakran said.

The cessation of operating rooms amounts to a “death sentence” for hundreds of patients in the hospital, he added.

Al-Dakran warned that if the operating rooms cease functioning, many patients will die.

The spokesman expressed fears that the hospital’s generators might stop working due to fuel shortages amid ongoing power outages.

The failure of the hospital’s generator poses a “major and real danger” to intensive care units, he said.
