- Kuwait Specialized Field Hospital halts surgeries for third week due to medical shortages.
- Fuel, anesthesia, sterilization supplies, and surgical tools critically low amid Gaza crisis.
The Kuwait Specialized Field Hospital in Khan Yunis has suspended all surgical operations for the third consecutive week due to a severe shortage of essential medical supplies, hospital officials announced.
The hospital cited a critical lack of anesthesia drugs, medical solutions, sterilization materials, surgical instruments, and fuel needed to operate generators. The shortages are linked to the ongoing blockade and restrictions by 'Israel', which prevent the entry of medicines, medical equipment, and fuel into the Gaza Strip.
"This forced suspension threatens a looming health disaster," the hospital statement warned, noting a growing backlog of patients and wounded individuals awaiting care. Officials said the situation is particularly dire amid widespread displacement, which has intensified the humanitarian crisis.
Medical staff emphasized that Gaza’s healthcare system faces a continuous and severe shortage of essential medications, putting patients’ lives at immediate risk and undermining hospitals’ ability to provide even basic medical services.
Humanitarian organizations have repeatedly called for the urgent entry of supplies and fuel into Gaza to prevent the collapse of healthcare services, which could lead to preventable deaths.
