Gaza Health Official Warns WHO Fuel Halt Will Disrupt Hospital Services
Mohammed Zaqout, director of hospitals at Gaza’s Health Ministry, said the World Health Organization’s planned suspension of fuel supplies would harm patient care in the coming days.
Mohammed Zaqout, director of hospitals at Gaza’s Health Ministry, has warned that a decision by the World Health Organization (WHO) to halt fuel supplies to hospitals in the Gaza Strip will seriously affect patients’ health and the delivery of medical services, according to a report by IRNA, Iran's state news agency.
Zaqout said the fuel cutoff is expected to take effect in the coming days, though the report did not specify an exact date for the halt.
According to the report, Zaqout said the loss of fuel supplies would disrupt hospital operations across Gaza, though further details on which facilities or services would be most affected were not provided in the report.
IRNA did not include a statement from the WHO regarding the reasons for the reported decision or its scope. EGazette could not independently verify the claims at the time of publication.
