Al Awda Hospital in northern Gaza is struggling to survive. With the last drops of diesel running out, the only remaining hospital in the northern Gaza Strip is officially out of service.
The birth of the Palestinian woman, Wissal Salha, was postponed for a full week, due to the lack of fuel necessary to operate the obstetrics and gynecology department at the hospital. Al Awda’s withdrawal from service is “a collective death sentence for the northernGaza Strip,” according to what doctors say.
