Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, announced today, Wednesday, the suspension of health services, with the exception of intensive care and operations departments, in light of the fuel shortage crisis.

Nasser Complex explained, in a statement, that all health services provided in the complex have stopped, except for the critical departments, which are: intensive care, emergency operations, the artificial kidney, the oxygen station, and the emergency department lighting.

He warned of a humanitarian and health disaster that threatens the lives of patients by causing them to die of suffocation in intensive care beds, pointing out that the complex's generators have completely stopped, and that only a small generator is working now.

He pointed out that the amount of fuel available in the complex is sufficient to operate the small generator for only three hours, stressing that the complex needs 5,500 liters of diesel per day to ensure the continuity of medical services.

He called on all international bodies and institutions to intervene urgently to bring in fuel to ensure the continuity of medical services.

In light of the ongoing bombing and direct targeting of hospitals, the occupation is seeking to destroy the health system in the north and south, as the three public hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip, namely: Kamal Adwan, Beit Hanoun, and the Indonesian, have become out of service due to the escalation of the occupation’s aggression. Only 14 hospitals out of 36 in Gaza are now partially operating, and are facing a severe shortage of supplies, according to what the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported.
