Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, the only healthcare facility still operating in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, is at risk of suspending its services due to a shortage of fuel for its generators.

Two patients were martyred earlier this week due to the lack of fuel and the depletion of oxygen supplies.

American broadcaster CNN published an investigation earlier in March, that revealed "Israel" deliberately denied entry into Gaza anesthetics and anesthesia machines, oxygen cylinders, ventilators, and water filtration systems. Other rejected items were dates, sleeping bags, cancer medication, water purification tablets, and maternity kits.

Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces continued on Wednesday to commit massacres in Gaza, with 27 Palestinians, including women and children, killed in an airstrike targeting a house in al-Nuseirat refugee camp in the central part of the Strip.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent also reported that Israeli warplanes targeted a residential building in the Al-Shanti area northwest of Gaza City, while Israeli artillery shelled western areas of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza revealed on Tuesday that the number of martyrs due to the Israeli ongoing war on Gaza has risen to 31,819, the majority of whom are women and children.

The number of injuries has also risen to 73,934, with thousands of victims still under the rubble and in the streets, most presumed dead, while Israeli occupation forces continue to prevent ambulance and rescue crews from reaching them.

Defying ICJ's rulings

Anti-poverty charity Oxfam on Monday said "Israel" is intentionally preventing the delivery of aid into the besieged Gaza Strip, in violation of international humanitarian law.

The non-governmental organization said in a report that the occupation continues to "systematically and deliberately block and undermine any meaningful international humanitarian response" to the disaster in Gaza, with 1.7 million Palestinians (75% of Gaza's population) at risk of famine.

It pointed out that "Israel" was defying an order by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in January to boost aid in the Strip, and was failing its legal responsibility to protect people in the land it occupies.

"We believe that Israel is failing to take all measures within its power to prevent genocide," Oxfam.
