Overview
- According to OCHA, virtually no fuel remains in Gaza, forcing hospitals to ration care and stalling ambulances.
- UNICEF reports that 60 percent of Gaza’s water facilities are already offline and warns the rest will fail within days without fuel.
- Hospital directors, including at Al-Shifa, say generators could go dark by morning, putting dialysis units, blood banks and neonatal incubators at risk.
- Gaza’s health ministry is recording surging meningitis cases and other waterborne illnesses as sanitation collapses and clean water runs desperately low.
- UN agencies and aid groups are calling for sustained fuel deliveries and protected humanitarian corridors to prevent further civilian deaths and infrastructure breakdown.
