• Al Shifa has shut its dialysis department to conserve fuel for intensive care and surgery and warns that oxygen stations and blood banks will soon fail.
• United Nations agencies report only 18 of Gaza’s 36 general hospitals remain partially functional due to crippling shortages of fuel and medical supplies.
• Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis operates on just 3,000 of the 4,500 litres of daily fuel it needs, forcing surgeries without electricity or air conditioning.
• An Israeli military official says about 160,000 litres of hospital fuel entered Gaza since July 10, but UN bodies dispute how much has reached critical wards.
