JAKARTA - Hospitals across the Gaza Strip face severe oxygen shortages after Israeli forces burned and destroyed the central oxygen plant station, according to local health authorities.
The damage in particular affected major medical facilities, including Al-Shifa Medical Complex, Al-Rantisi Hospital, Al-Durra Hospital, Indonesian Hospital, Al-Nasr Medical Complex, and Sheikh Radwan Clinic, according to the same source, as reported by WAFA February 17.
In addition, the source reported, ten destroyed stations are essential for supplying oxygen to critical hospital units such as operating rooms, intensive care units, emergency wards, and neonatal incubators. They also provide oxygen for patients receiving treatment at home.
The situation is expected to worsen as Israeli authorities continue to block entry of new oxygen stations into the Gaza Strip, which poses a dire threat to the patient's life.
The latest conflict between Palestinian militant groups Hamas and Israel broke out in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, when Palestinian militants led by Hamas attacked Israel's southern region, leaving about 1,200 people dead and 250 others held hostage, according to Israeli calculations.
