UNICEF warned! Newborn babies are at risk

In a written statement from UNICEF, it was stated that fuel inflow to Gaza, which is under Israeli attacks, is still low.

The statement drew attention to the fuel crisis at Aksa Hospital in the central region of Gaza and said, "Since regular fuel deliveries cannot be made to Aksa Hospital in Deir al-Belah, oxygen generators will be shut down and the lives of more than 20 newborn babies will be at risk." .

The statement emphasized that Gaza urgently needs more fuel and safe corridors for humanitarian workers to carry out their duties.

In the statement made by Aksa Martyrs Hospital, it was warned that healthcare services had come to a halt due to fuel shortage in the hospital and therefore 1200 patients and injured people were in danger of death.
