TEHRAN (Defapress) - The Health Ministry in Gaza has issued a warning that all hospitals in the besieged and bombarded territory may be forced to cease or diminish their services “within 48 hours” due to a shortage of fuel, attributing the situation to Israel's blockade on fuel supplies.

Marwan al-Hams, the director of Gaza’s field hospitals, stated at a news conference, “We issue this urgent alert as all hospitals in the Gaza Strip will be compelled to halt operations or scale back their services within 48 hours because of the occupation’s hindrance of fuel access.”
