Gaza Health Ministry Says 70% of Hospital Generators Now Out of Service
Officials cite fuel, oil and spare-parts shortages linked to the ongoing Israeli blockade as threatening critical hospital departments across the territory.
Gaza's Health Ministry said that 70 percent of generators used to power hospitals in the territory are now out of service, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The ministry attributed the breakdown to shortages of fuel, oil and spare parts, which it said have been caused by the ongoing Israeli blockade of Gaza.
According to the report, the shortage of functioning generators is threatening the operation of critical hospital departments that rely on continuous power supply.
The ministry's statement did not specify which individual hospitals or departments have been most affected, but it warned that the situation poses a broader risk to healthcare delivery in Gaza as the blockade continues to restrict the entry of fuel and equipment.
Anadolu Agency reported the ministry's figures without independent verification. Israeli authorities have not yet commented on the specific claim regarding hospital generators.
