Overview
- Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat said most services are suspended, keeping only the emergency unit, maternity ward and paediatrics operating.
- Staff have rented a small generator to keep essential departments running, but the facility reported it could not perform basic diagnostics such as X-rays for some patients.
- An official said the hospital typically uses 1,000 to 1,200 litres of diesel daily and currently has about 800 litres, while the director separately said 2,600 litres per day are needed to maintain minimal operations and warned services could stop within hours without fuel.
- The UN and aid groups report 100 to 300 humanitarian trucks entering Gaza each day, far below the 600 per day envisioned under the ceasefire.
- Gaza health officials report drug shortages at 52 percent and medical supply shortages at 71 percent, with nearly 500,000 surgeries on hold and more than 300 cancer patient deaths this year attributed to lack of treatment.
