Oxygen supplies are running critically low in Gaza's hospitals, threatening the lives of patients across medical facilities, Maan Wire reported. The shortage has created an urgent humanitarian emergency as healthcare providers struggle to maintain life-support systems and treat seriously ill and injured patients who depend on steady oxygen flow for survival.
The depletion of oxygen reserves comes as medical infrastructure in Gaza faces severe strain from the ongoing demands placed on the healthcare system. Hospital administrators have issued urgent warnings that without immediate resupply of oxygen stocks, patient mortality rates risk increasing significantly in the coming days as ventilators and other life-sustaining equipment cannot operate at full capacity.
