Gaza: The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced 14 new deaths in the past 24 hours due to famine and malnutrition, bringing the death toll to 147, including 88 children.

In the same context, the administration of Shuhada Al Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza warned of an imminent disaster due to the depletion of diesel fuel needed to operate the hospital's generators.

In a press release, the hospital said that only a few hours remain before a complete halt to healthcare services is imposed.

The hospital indicated that the continued power outage, in the absence of diesel to operate generators, will lead to a complete paralysis of all hospital departments, particularly operating rooms, intensive care units, nurseries, and dialysis machines, putting the lives of hundreds of patients at immediate risk.

The hospital appealed to all relevant authorities and international and humanitarian organizations to urgently intervene to provide sufficient quantities of diesel and ensure the continuity of medical services to citizens in the Central Governorate.
