Gaza hospitals face risk of power outages as generator oil runs out

Gaza’s hospitals face the risk of power outages after supplies of oil needed to operate their electricity generators ran out, the Health Ministry warned on Wednesday, cautioning that generator failures could disrupt critical and life-saving medical services, Anadolu reports. In a statement, the ministry said the remaining generators were operating under “complex engineering and technical conditions and faced the risk of immediate mechanical failure and deterioration.” It warned that the shutdown of the generators would “disrupt power supplies to numerous vital departments and units providing life-saving care.” The ministry said hospitals require more than 2,500 liters of oil per month to operate their electricity generators.
