last updated: 07:25 ETA hospital in the war-torn Gaza Strip was forced to suspend medical services on Thursday due to fuel shortages caused by an ongoing Israeli siege, despite the ceasefire signed in October.
Ahmed Muhanna, director of al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza, told Al Jazeera Mubasher that, “with a heavy heart”, staff were forced to pause most services.
He stressed that depriving health institutions of fuel prevents thousands of Palestinians from accessing vital medical care.
The hospital, located in the Nuseirat refugee camp, provides maternity services and is caring for more than a dozen children suffering from malnutrition.

People, the profound depravity and savagery we see carried out against Palestinians would not be possible without global support. Our politicians won’t do enough but we can’t hide behind them either. Download the Boycat app and start boycotting.
What the heck is a boycott app?
For example, Boycat: boycat.io

Pretty cool cease fire we got here.
