In addition to the devastating attacks that have claimed the lives of over 5,000 people, the occupation regime imposes a severe embargo on the region.
This embargo includes cutting off water and electricity supplies and preventing fuel from entering Gaza, resulting in the closure of critical service institutions, especially hospitals.
Among those most affected by the occupation's blockade are premature babies who are dependent on life-sustaining equipment. Dozens of infants face the constant risk of losing their lives due to frequent power outages. The vital medical equipment keeping these babies alive is often at risk of malfunction.
To mitigate the power cuts, fuel was initially used to provide energy, but as fuel supplies dwindled, solar panels became the primary energy source for these life-support devices.
Dr. Fadya Malhis, an Obstetrician Gynecologist at Gaza Shifa Hospital, has made urgent appeals to the international community, drawing attention to the dire situation.
Dr. Malhis disclosed that approximately 40 babies, particularly in the neonatal intensive care unit, rely on solar power for their survival. However, on cloudy or rainy days, these infants face an increased risk of death.
Dr. Malhis further highlighted that many of these babies have lost their entire families in the ongoing bombardment or have family members who are missing.
She urged the international community to promptly send fuel to Gaza to help save the lives of these vulnerable infants.
The situation remains critical, underscoring the need for immediate humanitarian intervention. (ILKHA)
