Palestinian Red Crescent Society: Three patients died at Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, as Israel blocks entry of oxygen

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported this morning that three patients died in its Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza, as a result of the Israeli occupation forces blocking the entry of oxygen into the hospital for nearly a week, according to WAFA News Agency.

In a press statement, the Red Crescent confirmed that the Israeli occupation forces destroyed medical devices and equipment during their raid yesterday on the hospital and they also assaulted the staff, subjecting them to beating, abuse, and humiliation. According to the Society, mine members of the medical and administrative staff, along with four wounded individuals and five patient companions, were subsequently detained.

The Red Crescent added that the Israeli occupation forces “continue to block the entry of the necessary fuel for the hospital’s electricity generators, despite fact that the fuel reserves are expected to be depleted within the next two days.”

It said that “the Israeli measures threaten to halt the hospital’s operations amid the ongoing blockade, now in its twenty-first consecutive day, affecting patients, the injured, and medical and administrative staff alike.”
