The Gaza health ministry has warned that all hospitals in the enclave would have to stop or reduce services “within 48 hours” for lack of fuel, blaming Israel for blocking its entry, AFP reports.

“We raise an urgent warning as all hospitals in Gaza Strip will stop working or reduce their services within 48 hours due to the occupation’s (Israel’s) obstruction of fuel entry,” Marwan al-Hams, director of Gaza’s field hospitals, said during a press conference.
