Desperate Times in Gaza: Hospitals Struggle to Survive Amid Fuel Shortages
Desperate Times in Gaza: Hospitals Struggle to Survive Amid Fuel Shortages....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In the dim corridors of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, mobile phone torches have become as essential as stethoscopes for doctors making their rounds. With generators failing due to widespread fuel shortages, healthcare services are severely restricted after more than 10 months of ongoing conflict.
Fuel shortages have plagued the besieged territory, compounding the difficulties faced by hospitals still operating. Ayman Zaqout, who faced significant challenges reaching Kamal Adwan due to Israeli strikes and evacuation orders, found himself treated mostly in darkness upon his admission. “There was no electricity, and I don’t know how they will be able to treat me in these circumstances,” he shared with AFPTV, grimacing from pain as he battled renal colic.
Zaqout was fortunate to receive treatment at all. Not long after his arrival, hospital officials announced they could no longer accept new patients. Dr. Mahmoud Abu Amsha explained that international organizations had stopped supplying the hospital with the fuel needed for its generators. He warned that the situation could soon turn deadly: “Children in incubators are threatened with cardiac arrest and death, and there are also seven cases in the intensive care unit, and they will die due to the fuel shortage.”
The ongoing war in Gaza ignited following Hamas’s unprecedented attack on southern Israel on October 7, resulting in the deaths of 1,199 individuals, predominantly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures. In retaliation, Israel’s military campaign has claimed the lives of 40,265 Palestinians in Gaza, as reported by the Hamas-run health ministry, which does not differentiate between civilian and militant casualties. The United Nations’ human rights office indicates that most of the deceased are women and children.
With a population of 2.4 million, nearly all of whom have been displaced at least once, Gaza now has only 16 hospitals functioning, all operating at reduced capacity. The conflict’s onset saw Gaza’s only power plant cease operations, while Israel cut off the electricity supply entirely. Although some humanitarian aid has trickled in through Israeli-controlled checkpoints, the situation remains dire.
In emergencies—such as a deadly airstrike nearby or a sudden influx of wounded—medics at Kamal Adwan can still utilize solar energy. However, Dr. Abu Amsha emphasized that solar power cannot sustain patients who require electrical equipment 24 hours a day. The lack of fuel also hampers ambulance operations, making it increasingly difficult for patients to access care.
Al-Awda Hospital, also located in northern Gaza, is anxiously awaiting a fuel delivery to restart its generators. Acting director Mohammed Salha noted, “Two days ago, we closed some services and postponed operations. This puts the sick and wounded at risk.” Currently, the hospital has been able to provide only “the minimum service,” relying on donations of fuel from other medical facilities.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.
“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.
He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”
Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.
He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.
“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.
In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.
“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
