GaZA - Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in the center of Gaza City, warned that the scarcity of fuel and medical supplies threatens the lives of injury victims in the midst of the war that has been going on since October. Hospital spokesman Khalil Al-Dannyran told Anadolu about the dangers of operating spaces that have stopped operating due to a lack of medical, medical, medical, and fuel supplies. "We are unable to carry out operations because the operating room is inadequate, lack of anesthesia, and the necessary medical equipment and equipment," Al-Dakran said. Stopping the operating room is the same as a "death penalty" for hundreds of patients in hospitals, he said.Al-Katran warned that if the operating room stops functioning, many patients will die. The spokesman expressed concern that hospital generators could also stop operating due to the ongoing fuel shortage, amid an ongoing power outage. The damage to hospital generators poses "a major and real danger" to intensive care units, he said. He urged the international community and humanitarian organizations to immediately supply fuel and medical supplies, as well as reactivate unoperating hospitals to reduce the burden on health care workers and save the lives of the victims. Due to the UN Security Council' resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, Israel faced international condemnation amid its ongoing brutal attacks since October 7. More than 38,900 Palestinians, mostly and children, have died, and more than 89,600 others were injured, according to local health authorities.

For more than nine months of Israeli attacks, much of Gaza's territory was destroyed amid a crippling blockade on access to food, clean water and medicine. Israel is accused of committing genocide at the International Court, which in its latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately stop its military operations in the southern city of Rafah, where more than one million Palestinians sought refuge from war before they were attacked on May 6.
