The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has said it may have to halt its services in the Gaza City and north Gaza governorates due to fuel shortages, Al Jazeera reports.

“This situation severely hinders the teams’ ability to provide services and worsens the health crisis in these governorates,” it said as fuel is needed to operate ambulances, emergency medical clinics and relief services.

“The depletion of fuel will also cause electricity generators at clinics and medical points — nine in total across the two governorates — to shut down.

“This will lead to medication spoilage, the stoppage of laboratory equipment, and a complete halt in services at clinics that serve thousands of citizens,” PRCS warned.
