The Palestinian news agency WAFA quoted medical sources as saying that the generators stopped working completely after the last of the available fuel was consumed, causing a power outage in all departments of the hospital, except for some services that depend on limited backup batteries, at a time when the number of patients and critical cases is increasing.
The hospital administration warned that the continued power outage is endangering the lives of patients, especially in the intensive care, pediatric and surgical departments, and called on international organizations and humanitarian bodies to intervene urgently and pressure the occupation to allow the entry of fuel immediately.
In parallel, the Israeli occupation army issued new "evacuation orders" on Thursday for an entire residential block east of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City. The evacuation orders included an area that the occupation describes as "safe," in preparation for demolishing it, and to expand what is known as the "yellow cubes" to a distance of more than 100 meters with a width exceeding 300 meters.
Wafa added that the orders caused a large displacement of hundreds of families from the eastern part of the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, amid deteriorating humanitarian and security conditions.
With American support, Israel began a war of extermination in Gaza on October 7, 2023, which lasted two years and left about 71,000 martyrs and more than 171,000 wounded Palestinians, most of them children and women.U
A ceasefire between Hamas and Israel began on October 10, but Israel violates it daily, resulting in the deaths of 411 Palestinians and injuries to 1,112 others, according to the Gaza Government Media Office on Monday evening.
