The Government Media Office in Gaza warned Monday evening of an "imminent disaster" threatening the lives of thousands of sick and wounded people in the Strip due to Israel's denial of access to fuel stores allocated to hospitals by international and UN organizations.
The government office said in a statement titled "Urgent Warning": "Gaza Strip hospitals are on the brink of collapse within 48 hours due to the Israeli occupation's prevention of international organizations from accessing fuel and the ongoing blockade."
The government office explained that fuel depots allocated to hospitals and belonging to international organizations are located in areas classified by Israel as "red zones," meaning access to them is prohibited.
The government office considered this a "continuation of the crime of siege and deliberate starvation" committed by the army in the Gaza Strip, in conjunction with its ongoing air and ground attacks since October 7, 2023.
