GAZA CITY, Sept 20 — The Kuwait Specialty Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, announced on Sunday the suspension of operations in all departments except emergency care due to a halt in fuel supplies amid the Israeli blockade, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
“We regret to announce the suspension of operations in the hospital’s departments, with the exception of the emergency department, starting today, Sunday, due to the cessation of fuel supplies necessary to operate the facility,” the hospital said in a statement.
The facility warned that the continuation of the crisis would result in “thousands of citizens being deprived of medical treatment on a daily basis”.
The development comes amid the repercussions of Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip, accompanied by a tightened blockade and widespread attacks on the territory’s infrastructure and healthcare system.
Since October 2023, the Israeli offensive in Gaza has killed more than 73,000 people and wounded over 174,000 others, while destroying around 90 per cent of the enclave’s infrastructure. — Bernama-Anadolu
