Red Cross provides Gaza hospitals with urgent fuel aid for 10 days

Gaza- The Red Cross said it intends to give the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza about 150,000 liters of diesel fuel to help 13 public hospitals continue to provide health services in the next 10 days.

The Red Cross had provided Gaza hospitals with a similar amount of fuel last February.

Head of the Red Cross in the occupied Palestinian territory Juan Shearer warned that the failure to solve the problem of fuel and electricity in Gaza would paralyze health services and endanger the lives of patients.

He noted that the operating theaters, intensive care units, neonatal care units and dialysis units in Gaza hospitals would suffer terribly if the power and fuel crisis persisted, and urged the Palestinian authorities to work on finding a permanent solution to this problem.
