    The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on the 4th that three more health service centers in the Gaza Strip stopped operating
    due to a shortage of generator fuel on the same day.
    So far, 3 hospitals and 10 health service centres in the region have closed due
    to lack of electricity.

    The Pakistani Ministry of Health issued a press release saying that the generators of the three hospitals and 10 health service centers ran out of fuel and stopped functioning, so these medical institutions can no longer provide services
    .

    Ashraf Kadera, a spokesman for the Gaza Strip of the Pakistani Ministry of Health, told Xinhua: "We are currently facing an increasingly severe crisis, and the medical and health services provided to residents have been reduced to a minimum
    .
    In the coming days, all hospitals in the Gaza Strip are in danger
    of running out of fuel for generators.

    There are 13 public hospitals and 54 private health centres
    in the Gaza Strip, with a population of about 2 million.
    According to the Pakistani Ministry of Health, the shortage of generator fuel threatens the lives of nearly 1,000 kidney dialysis patients, intensive care unit patients and newborns
    .

    In addition, there is a severe shortage
    of essential medicines and medical and health supplies in the Gaza Strip.
    Kadela called on relevant international agencies to intervene immediately to address the health crisis
    in the Gaza Strip.

    Since the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) seized control of the Gaza Strip by force in 2007, Israel has imposed a tight lockdown on the Strip, strictly controlling the movement
    of goods and people.
    Under the blockade, patients in the Gaza Strip have difficulty seeking medical treatment, and there is an extreme lack
    of fuel and electricity.
