Warning that electricity generators at Nasser Medical Complex will stop within hours

The Ministry of Health in Gaza warned that the electricity generators at the Nasser Medical Complex in the city of Khan Yunis would stop during the next few hours.


The Ministry stated in a statement that the Nasser Complex is the only remaining main hospital that provides service to patients after the Gaza European Hospital went out of service in the Khan Yunis and Rafah governorates, as a result of the lack of necessary fuel.

She indicated that work has been suspended in some departments within the Nasser Medical Complex.


It appealed to all concerned, international and humanitarian institutions to intervene quickly to provide the necessary fuel to operate the generators.


It is noteworthy that only 15 out of 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip are operating, and all of them are partially functioning, and are facing a severe shortage of workers and medical supplies, including anesthesia and antibiotics, leaving health care workers struggling to save lives.


About 500 health sector staff were martyred, hundreds were injured, the Israeli occupation forces arrested more than 310 others, and the occupation forces destroyed 130 ambulances, during their ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip for 9 months.


The World Health Organization warns that the volume of medical supplies entering Gaza is insufficient to sustain the health response and that all medical evacuations outside Gaza remain halted.


Despite the assurances of international and international human rights organizations that targeting hospitals and the health system is a clear violation of the principles and standards of international humanitarian law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, which guarantees special protection for hospitals and health centers during the outbreak of armed conflicts and wars, and that targeting them constitutes a crime against humanity and amounts to a war crime, the occupation continues.
