Gaza health ministry warns hospitals could lose power in 48 hours

Gaza’s few functional hospitals and health facilities could run out of fuel in the next 48 hours, the Palestinian health ministry said, issuing a plea for supplies to power generators.

The health ministry warned that without fuel, life-saving medical equipment will stop working.

“We appeal to all relevant, international and humanitarian institutions to intervene quickly to bring in the necessary fuel,” the ministry said in a statement.
