The Gaza Health Ministry issued an urgent warning on November 22, stating that all hospitals in the region would be forced to halt or significantly reduce services within 48 hours due to a critical fuel shortage caused by Israel’s blockade preventing fuel entry.

During a press conference, Marwan al-Hams, director of Gaza’s field hospitals, said, “We raise an urgent warning as all hospitals in Gaza will stop working or reduce their services within 48 hours due to the occupation’s (Israel’s) obstruction of fuel entry.”
