Israel’s destruction of generators is threatening critical care services including operating units, intensive care units, emergency units and nurseries, Gaza’s health ministry has said in a statement, Al Jazeera reports.

Three high-capacity generators were bombed recently and the remaining generators risk going out of service, the ministry added.

️“Technical teams in hospitals are working with limited and exhausted options to bolster electricity supplies to vital departments,“ it said.

The remaining generators have been in operation for more than a year and are difficult to maintain due to a lack of parts, it explained. “We call on all relevant institutions and agencies to urgently provide generators with the required capacity, as well as the necessary spare parts for maintenance.”
