Dr Hassan Khalaf, director of Gaza’s Al Shifa hospital: “We have little fuel left for the power generator. If this hospital runs out of fuel and the electricity cuts off it will mean death for about 200 cases within around 15-20 minutes. In other words all patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) would die and all premature babies too. This is only one Gaza hospital out of 15.
“When the electricity cuts-off we only generate power to the ICU, the Renal Department and premature babies. The rest of the hospital sinks into darkness.
“I appeal to Islamic Relief and the international community to take an immediate move to help the needy people in Gaza with medicine, fuel, food and water, because the shortage in these items means death.”
