Al-Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital entered acute operational crisis Wednesday after staff transport buses halted completely, according to Shehab Wire. The stoppage stems from the ongoing blockade preventing entry of vehicle spare parts and tires, blocking large numbers of medical personnel from reaching the facility.
The hospital did not specify when services might resume or whether alternative transport arrangements were being arranged. The blockade has severely constrained hospital operations across Gaza in recent months.
