Gaza's Kuwait Specialty Hospital to Suspend Most Services Over Fuel Cutoff
Hospital says operations will be limited to critical emergency cases starting Sunday after WHO notified it that fuel supplies would stop.
Kuwait Specialty Hospital in Gaza announced it will suspend most of its medical services starting Sunday due to a cutoff in fuel supplies, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The hospital said its operations will be limited to handling critical emergency cases after the World Health Organization (WHO) notified the facility that fuel deliveries would stop, the report said.
Fuel is essential for hospitals in Gaza to power generators that run life-saving medical equipment, given the region's ongoing electricity shortages, according to humanitarian organizations that have previously documented such conditions.
Further details on the reasons behind the fuel supply cutoff, the duration of the suspension, or the specific services affected were not immediately available in the source report.
Anadolu Agency did not specify what alternative arrangements, if any, are being made for patients requiring non-emergency care during the suspension.
