Speaking to this column on Tuesday afternoon (24), he appealed to the international community to ensure the supply of fuel to his hospital’s generators. The few humanitarian aid trucks allowed to enter the border with Egypt are banned by Israel from transporting the product. The Tel Aviv government maintains a siege on the territory.
“I have two huge generators that work alternately for 12 hours each. When the electricity was cut off in the Gaza Strip 17 days ago, I had 12,000 liters in the strategic fuel depot for the generators. Today I only have 3,000 left. So.” “Whatever is left is enough for a maximum of 3 to 4 days. After that, we will collapse and stop operations at the hospital,” he warns.
“Today I contacted the WHO [Organização Mundial de Saúde] to ensure fuel supplies and called the Ministry of Health [de Gaza] to help us. But no one can deliver me fuel. In general, no one in Gaza has anything to deliver. It’s empty everywhere.
The United Nations demanded that fuel be allowed to enter the Gaza Strip. In response, the Israeli army called out on X/Twitter Hamas, which is responsible for the terrorist attack that killed more than 1,400 people on its territory.
In Gaza, the death toll since the beginning of the bombings and the Israeli siege (which blocks the flow of food, medicine, hospital products, water, electricity and of course fuel) currently stands at 5,800, including 2.36 thousand children, according to the local health sector.
