GAZA, (PIC)-- The department of ambulance and emergency in the Gaza Strip announced that all ambulance vehicles in the Strip would come to a complete standstill by 0600 pm local time Saturday due to the lack of fuel.
Dr. Mu'awiya Hassanain, the director of the department, said in a press release that all petrol stations in the Strip said that they were out of fuel and thus the ambulance vehicles would stop moving and would not be able to extend assistance to the wounded and patients.
He pointed out that the continued Israeli shelling and incursions would necessitate availability of ambulance cars to evacuate the casualties.
The health ministry in the PA caretaker government in Gaza had announced two days ago that it stopped all surgeries in Gaza hospitals due to the lack of the anesthetic nitrous oxide used for narcotizing patients during surgeries.
It warned in a statement that a health disaster was looming in the Strip, adding that Israel was "planting death in the Gaza Strip's hospitals".
The ministry appealed to WHO, human rights groups and the world community to immediately act to ward off this disaster.
