The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said on Monday, “The only oxygen station in the Strip is threatened with a complete shutdown within hours, exposing the lives of dozens of sick and wounded people to certain death.”

The Ministry confirmed in a statement that the medicines in the refrigerators were exposed to damage, due to the lack of input of diesel fuel to operate the generator feeding the oxygen station and the refrigerators for storing medicines.

The Ministry appeals to all concerned, international and humanitarian institutions to intervene quickly.
