4 Universities in Gaza closed

Palestinian sources in the Gaza Strip reported on Monday that four major universities had to shut down due to shortages of fuel as the students became unable to travel from the northern parts and the southern parts of the Gaza Strip to Gaza City.

Students in the Gaza Strip are unable to travel to their universities due to the fuel crisis, and the campuses had to shut down.

Sources at the Palestinian Energy and Natural Resources Authority said that they believe that the shortages would soon affect other aspects of the civilian life, as hospitals and medical centers are already suffering from the blockade, and lacking basic supplies in addition to fuel needed to run power generators.

On Wednesday, Palestinian medical sources reported that five Palestinian patients died on after the Israeli army prevented them from leaving the coastal region for medical treatment in Egypt.

More than 132 Palestinian patients, including 25 children and 43 women, died due to the ongoing siege.
