Gaza hospital director says fuel is running out, patients at risk of death

Iyad Abu Zaher, the director of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, has warned that medical services at the hospital will soon cease due to a lack of fuel, Al Jazeera reports.

“The World Health Organisation told us that the fuel will enter the hospital at noon on Thursday, January 11,” Abu Zaher said in a statement quoted by the AJ. “The fuel has not yet arrived.”

He warned that children and patients are at risk of death if the electric generators stop completely.
