Power cuts plunge Gaza hospitals into darkness as Israeli attacks persist
Gaza is suffering from an energy crisis that is affecting hospitals struggling to treat patients amid Israeli bombing. Medical staff describe working under increasingly dire conditions as fuel and power run short.
The Gaza Strip is facing a severe energy crisis that is straining hospitals already struggling to treat patients, as fuel and electricity shortages leave medical facilities in the dark while Israeli bombing continues in the territory.
Medical staff describe generators as insufficient, with some departments forced to operate with limited lighting or equipment during procedures. Critical units, including neonatal intensive care, are described as particularly at risk.
International aid organisations are calling for increased fuel deliveries, though access restrictions continue to complicate getting supplies through. Health officials warn that preventable deaths could rise if the crisis persists.
