" If you don't have electricity, you can't electrify incubators for new born babies, ventilators, dialysis machines, treatments for cancer. Patients die without electricity. " #Gaza

#Gaza Patients and medical staff trapped in hospitals under fire - ATTACKS MUST STOP NOW!

Gaza: According to our colleagues working in Al-Shifa hospital, the hospital will soon run out of fuel and thus electricity. This means that all the patients who are today in intensive care units or connected to ventilators, and the babies who are in incubators, will die due to the lack of electricity.

It is critical that fuel be allowed into Gaza, as this is essential for lifesaving hospital operations as well as the availability of clean water.
