The Israeli occupation is still blocking fuel access to Gaza's hospitals, risking shutdowns as Gaza’s death toll rises to 52,535 and fuel runs critically low.

The Israeli occupation continues to obstruct international and UN agencies from reaching designated fuel storage sites meant for Gaza’s hospitals, citing their location in so-called "red zones." The move threatens to bring critical hospital operations to a halt, as these facilities rely heavily on fuel-powered generators to keep life-saving departments functioning.

According to health authorities in Gaza, the remaining fuel reserves in hospitals are only sufficient to last for three more days.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that 40 martyrs and 125 injuries were recorded over the past 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression.

As of May 4, the total number of martyrs since the beginning of the aggression on October 7, 2023, has reached 52,535, with 118,491 others injured.

From March 18, 2025, alone, i.e., since the resumption of the aggression on Gaza, 2,436 people have been martyred and 6,450 injured.

Hospitals and Humanitarian Organizations have warned that Gaza is facing a catastrophic crisis, with food and medicine shortages reaching critical levels amid "Israel's" siege on the Strip.

The Kuwait Specialized Hospital in Rafah reported on Saturday a dire scarcity of the majority of vital drugs and basic nutritional supplies needed for patients, highlighting that over 75% of essential medical supplies are critically lacking in the Gaza Strip.

The Kuwaiti hospital warned that "the ability to continue providing medical services is now at risk," adding that "the stock of medicines and medical supplies will not last for more than a week," stressing that "most healthcare services will come to a halt without urgent and immediate intervention."

The World Food Programme (WFP) warned that its food reserves within the Gaza Strip have been completely depleted, urgently calling for humanitarian aid to be allowed into the besieged enclave. The WFP confirmed that critical life-saving supplies are prepared for delivery yet remain inaccessible due to the continued closure of all border crossings.
