Newborns At Death Risk Due To No Power Supply In Gaza

It is reported that the unprecedented attack of the Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip on Palestine continues to avenge the attacks of Hamas. Many areas of the town have been turned into rubble.

Last Tuesday, the Israeli authorities cut off gas, electricity, and water lines in Gaza City which created a dire situation in the war-torn Palestine city. Ziyad Shehada, an aid agency official based in Malaysia, has been staying in this city for many years. He told Al-Jazeera on Wednesday that he is currently going through the most terrible time of his life.

The organization is trying to distribute food, blankets, and pillows among the residents of Gaza who are in a tragic situation. But the problem is that these things are stored in the border area of ​​the city. There is no longer a situation to reach there. The stock they had with them is now ended.

Due to lack of electricity, Shehada is not able to communicate with other workers and family members of his organization. He said, 'This is the most terrible war ever.'

However, due to lack of electricity, the patients and children staying in the hospital are suffering most. Health Director of Al-Wafa Hospital in the city, Hassan Khalaf, said that hospitals now have to rely on generators. But these hospitals have some essential emergency services which cannot be run with generators.

Khalaf also said that there are currently 100 newborns in Gaza hospitals whose chances of survival are running out. Because these children have to be on electric medical equipment for every step of life. He said they are too small and very weak.

Meanwhile, more than 1,000 patients who survived dialysis are now fighting with death. Because dialysis machines cannot be run without electricity.
