Palestinian Red Crescent: Three patients martyred in al-Amal Hospital due to oxygen shortage

Occupied Jerusalem, SANA- The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said the Israeli occupation has prevented the entry of oxygen supplies into al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip, for about a week, causing the martyrdom of three patients.

“The occupation forces stormed the hospital, damaged medical devices and equipment, assaulted and abused the medical staff, and arrested nine of medical and administrative staff, in addition to injuring four and of them, and five of the patients’ companions,” according to a statement by PRCS cited by Wafa Agency.

The statement added the occupation continues to prevent the entry of fuel necessary for electricity generators, even though the fuel stock is about to run out which threatens to stop the hospital from working in light of the ongoing siege of the hospital.
