Main hospital running low of supplies, many people still trapped under rubble and bombardment continues
As Gaza’s sole power station ran out of fuel amid a tightening siege, hundreds of terrified people sought shelter in the entry of the enclave’s largest hospital, huddling together as bombardments rained down.
A few hours after the Palestinian minister for energy said Gaza’s only power station had enough fuel to last another 12 hours at most, Gaza’s energy authority said the fuel had run out. The generators that many across Gaza have struggled to keep running in order to power homes and hospitals appeared set to sputter out without fuel, with no deliveries available due to the closure of Gaza’s southern border crossing with Egypt.
At the beginning of this week Israeli officials promised a “complete siege” of Gaza, after an attack by Hamas militants on Saturday that left more than 1,200 Israelis dead. Rama Abu Amra, a student living in the south of Gaza City, said she had spent the night in fear after warnings that a nearby building would be struck.
He said medical facilities had not been spared by the relentless bombardments and that one hospital MSF supports was damaged after an airstrike, while a second strike destroyed an ambulance carrying wounded people. B’Tselem’s Sadot expressed alarm at news that US officials were discussing brokering a humanitarian corridor rather than increasing pressure on Israeli authorities to cease the bombardments and the siege.
