Gaza City, Palestine, MINA — Palestinian Health Ministry warned on Sunday of grave consequences of the fuel crisis on hospitals in the blockaded Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reported.
“Generators are about to shut in major hospitals in Gaza due to shortage of fuel,” ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said in a statement.
“There is no response from all parties so far [to solve the crisis],” he said.
