Gaza Civil Defense: Fuel Shortage Threatens Rescue Operations, We Call for International Intervention
Gaza – SABA:
Asaad Al-Saqqa, Head of the Ambulance Department at the Civil Defense in Khan Younis Governorate, warned on Tuesday that the fuel supply for Civil Defense vehicles in southern Gaza is running out—an issue that "negatively affects all aspects of life in the Strip."
The Palestinian news agency "Ma'an" quoted Al-Saqqa as saying that Civil Defense teams are facing major challenges in continuing rescue operations. He called on international organizations to urgently intervene to provide the necessary supplies to ensure the continuation of medical and humanitarian efforts.
He added that 'several requests have been submitted to the International Committee of the Red Cross to provide urgent aid,' noting that these requests 'are being denied by the Zionist occupation.'

Palestinian child dies due to famine caused by Israeli enemy blockade on Gaza
Gaza – Saba: A Palestinian child died Monday evening in the city of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, due to famine and dehydration caused by the stifling Israeli blockade on the people of the Strip. The Palestinian News Agency, Wafa, quoted medical sources as confirming that the child died in Khan Yunis Children's and Maternity Hospital due to malnutrition resulting from the famine in the besieged Strip. They explained that thousands of children are suffering from symptoms of malnutrition due to the Israeli enemy blockade of the Gaza Strip, its closure of all crossings, and its prevention of the entry of basic materials and humanitarian aid, including food, water, medicine, and even fuel, for nearly 100 days. In a previous statement, Director of Medical Relief in Southern Gaza Bassam Zaqout said that the Gaza Strip has become a place of death, with the famine rate reaching 100%. Since the first hours of the devastating aggression perpetrated by the Israeli enemy army against the Gaza Strip, the weapon of starvation, particularly in northern Gaza, has been part of the crime of genocide, murder, siege, and destruction.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital: Fuel supply in Gaza hospitals only enough for two days
Gaza - Saba: Khalil al-Daqran, spokesman for al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, on Sunday confirmed that the fuel supply in Gaza hospitals is only enough for two days. In a statement to Al Jazeera on Sunday, al-Daqran called on the world to pressure the occupation to open the crossings to allow the entry of medical supplies. He explained that the wounded are facing difficulty reaching hospitals in southern Gaza. Al-Daqran pointed out that the hospital's artificial kidney department is out of service due to the occupation's attacks. Since October 7, 2023, Israeli enemy forces have been waging a war of genocide in the Gaza Strip, ignoring all international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it. The genocide has left approximately 180,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, and a famine has claimed the lives of the majority of the Strip's population. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
