We warn of an imminent health disaster. The main electrical generator in the Indonesian Hospital stopped, and the main generator in the Al-Shifa Medical Complex almost stopped as a result of the hospitals not being supplied with fuel or electricity.
We appeal to all parties to quickly supply the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and the Indonesian Hospital with fuel before an imminent disaster occurs.
- We appeal to the President of the Turkish Republic, Recep Erdogan, and the Turkish people to quickly intervene to supply the Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital with fuel to save more than 10,000 cancer patients.
- We appeal to the international community to provide safe passage for the exit of large numbers of wounded from serious and complex cases for which there is no treatment inside the Gaza Strip.
- We appeal to all relevant parties to provide safe passage for the urgent flow of medical aid, fuel and medical delegations to save the wounded and sick.
