Fuel Shortage Crisis Worsens Suffering of Hospitals in Gaza Strip - Jordan News
Fuel Shortage Crisis Worsens Suffering of Hospitals in Gaza Strip The Ministry of Health in Gaza stated on Saturday that the ongoing fuel shortage required to operate hospital generators remains at an unprecedented and critical level. اضافة اعلان In a statement, the ministry warned of the worsening crisis and the severe exhaustion of the healthcare system, particularly the few hospitals still functioning in the Gaza Strip. The ministry emphasized that the increasing number of critical injuries has intensified the need to ensure continuous generator operation in order to keep vital departments running. It noted that the Israeli occupation deliberately allows only insufficient amounts of fuel to enter, falling short of hospital needs. It added that relying on temporary and emergency solutions means life-saving departments are at risk of complete shutdown. Hospital engineering teams continue to operate beyond capacity to keep generators functioning and enforce fuel-saving measures that have now become ineffective. The ministry appealed to concerned parties to intervene and pressure the Israeli occupation to allow the entry of sufficient fuel supplies needed to keep hospital generators operational. — (Petra)

Jordan Armed Forces evacuate new batch of child patients from Gaza - Jordan News
The Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army on Wednesday implemented the sixth medical evacuation operation for child patients from Gaza, which included 23 patients, along with 47 family members, as part of the Jordan Medical Corridor initiative. اضافة اعلان Nineteen of the children will be receiving treatment at Jordanian private hospitals, accompanied by 40 from their families, while four patients will be evacuated to Türkiye for treatment, alongside seven family members, within international collaboration with Jordan's humanitarian efforts. The patients and their accompanying family members were evacuated in cooperation with Jordan's Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation (WHO). A total of 77 children and 169 family members have been medically evacuated by land and air to Jordan since the medical corridor initiative was launched. Jordan is keen to evacuate more child patients from Gaza and to expedite the process, but there are limitations due to technical and logistical challenges facing the WHO, as well as Israeli restrictions. The Jordan Medical Corridor initiative was launched in March this year upon Royal directives, in line with the Kingdom's steadfast role in supporting the people of Gaza.
