Through social networks the agency reported «The remaining hospitals, health centers and oxygen stations will stop operating within 48 hours as a result of the fuel exhaustion required for the operation of generators».

The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has warned on several occasions of the danger of famine in the Gaza Strip due to the genocide of the Israeli occupation forces.

The United Nations (UN) Office for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women also reported that at least 557,000 women in the Gaza Strip are currently suffering from severe food insecurity.
Since 7 October, the Israeli invasion has killed 37,877 people and injured 86,969, the vast majority of them women and children.
