Gaza - Ma'an - Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central Gaza Strip announced on Saturday evening that the hospital is in danger of shutting down and going out of service due to the depletion of oils and spare parts for the hospital's electric generators and the prevention of their entry. A statement issued by the hospital said that this threatens to put it out of service in less than 10 days, which is a warning of a real humanitarian disaster in the central governorate, which is currently inhabited by more than one million people. The hospital issued a warning to the international community, countries of the world, and international and UN institutions that the hospital would stop operating in less than 10 days. The statement pointed out that Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is the only government hospital in the central governorate, and has been operating on electric generators for a whole year without stopping. He continued: "In conjunction with this enormous pressure that this hospital is under, as well as the medical staff inside it, and in light of the occupation's attempts to destroy the health system and put all hospitals out of service." He stressed that this urgent appeal comes to ensure the continued operation of the electric generators and the hospital, and thus ensure the continued provision of health and medical services to more than one million people currently living in the Central Governorate. The hospital called on the World Health Organization, the Red Cross, and all international organizations to examine the dangerous conditions experienced by Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, and to immediately and urgently head to closely examine the bitter and difficult health situation and address this situation as quickly as possible, immediately and urgently, according to the statement.
