Hospitals without fuel to power generators, including Al-Shifa and Al-Quds in northern Gaza, are effectively out of service, as patients and displaced people seek shelter and care options diminish.
Gaza’s largest hospital reports that it has buried more than 100 people in a mass grave, as it says bodies decompose in its courtyard and babies are dying because their incubators have no power.
The conditions at Al-Shifa Hospital, and other medical facilities in Gaza, are worsening to new unimaginable levels, according to health officials and humanitarian groups on the ground.
Doctors Without Borders has medical teams at Al-Shifa, which is located in Gaza City.
„Our staff is saying there is no electricity,“ said Paul Caney, the group’s emergency coordinator. „People are staying in the corridors because of sniper fire near the windows and that they cannot move any of the patients to ambulances.“
Hospitals have run out of fuel to power their generators, including Al-Shifa and Al-Quds in the north of Gaza, and have ceased to function as medical facilities.
