Remaining fuel only to supply hospitals for few hours: Chief of Nurses 

Chief of Nurses and Nursing Supervisor of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the Gaza Strip, Khalil al-Dakran, warned of the complete collapse of the health sector across the Strip as "Israel" continues its genocidal bombing of residential buildings, medical crews, and infrastructure in Gaza.

In statements to Al Mayadeen, al-Dakran said that "the quantities of fuel available in Gaza hospitals are sufficient for limited hours," warning that hospitals will be out of service due to fuel shortage, indicating a health disaster in the Strip.

The heavy bombardment of Gaza by the Israeli Occupation Forces resulted in several injuries and martyrs greater than what hospitals in Gaza could accommodate.

As such, al-Dakaran called on the international community to pressure the occupation to open humanitarian corridors to transport critical situations and receive aid.
