25 Democratic members of the US Senate called for fuel to be brought into the Gaza Strip, expressing their concerns about an imminent crisis in Gaza’s hospitals, and the dwindling supply of clean drinking water in the Strip.

Their joint statement on Tuesday said, “Hospitals in Gaza are hours away from running out of fuel used to operate ventilators, baby incubators and other life-saving equipment, and diseases are spreading rapidly without the ability to treat and pump clean drinking water.”
