Fuel shortage looms over Gaza health

Palestinian Health Minister on Tuesday warned that the reducing of fuel shipments to Gaza Strip will affect health services for the residents.

"The non-humanitarian and harsh siege has aggravated in an unprecedented way after Israel's recent decision to stop providing Gaza with the fuel," said Health Minister Fathi Abu Mughli in a letter to the press and human rights groups.

"This destroys the health system and forms a direct threat on the patients," he said.

According to Abu Mughli, the ambulances, power generators and sterilization facilities are threatened to stop.
