The electricity generators at the European Hospital near Rafah have stopped working due to fuel shortages, putting the hospital “out of service”, Wafa news agency reports, citing medical sources.

It said the fuel shortages were “threatening the lives of hundreds of wounded and sick people inside” the medical complex in southern Gaza.

Yesterday, the Palestine Red Crescent Society warned of the “deterioration of humanitarian conditions” in Gaza amid Israel’s closure of border crossings, blocking aid and fuel from entering the besieged enclave.
