The World Health Organization has officially announced that, starting September 19, 2026, it will stop supplying fuel to more than 20 hospitals and health centers in the Gaza Strip because the Israeli occupation forces are preventing fuel from entering the Strip.
This means that most hospitals and health centers are at risk of shutting down completely, leaving thousands of patients, wounded people, and injured civilians alone to face death, deprived of even the most basic medical care and treatment.
Imagine being a patient, a wounded person bleeding, or a child struggling with pain, only to have the hospital doors closed in your face because the fuel needed to power life-saving equipment is being prevented from entering.
In Gaza, people are not being besieged by bombs and airstrikes alone. They are also being besieged by the denial of medical care and their right to survive.
What patients, wounded people, and injured civilians are enduring here is not a passing hardship that the world can simply ignore. It is a humanitarian catastrophe threatening the lives of people whose only “crime” was wanting to live.
What kind of world leaves a sick person to die because there is no fuel to keep their hospital running? What kind of conscience can remain silent in the face of this slow death.!!!
