Gaza hospitals running out of oxygen as healthcare system nears collapse
With fewer than 12 functioning power generators, Gaza's medical facilities face critical shortages threatening premature infants and ICU patients.
What to know
- Gaza's oxygen supply is critical: fewer than 12 of 35+ power generators remain operational, with many running at less than 50% capacity due to damage and lack of spare parts.
- The shortages directly threaten premature infants in neonatal units and patients in intensive care units who depend on continuous oxygen supply.
- Medical officials warn that complete failure of remaining generators would halt hospital operations entirely, as they cannot access pure oxygen for operating rooms and vital departments.
“if this power station stops completely, the hospital will stop completely, meaning we cannot get pure oxygen for operating rooms and intensive care units and vital departments”
