Al-Mamadani Arab National Hospital in Gaza City faces the threat of shutting down more medical services after its main electrical generator broke down Wednesday evening, Shehab Wire reported. The facility confronts an ongoing crisis in securing fuel and spare parts needed to restore operations.
The hospital's infrastructure vulnerability reflects broader energy shortages affecting Gaza's healthcare system. Medical facilities across the territory have struggled to maintain basic functions amid chronic fuel scarcity and equipment constraints. The breakdown compounds existing pressures on Al-Mamadani, which has already reduced services as the energy crisis deepens.
Hospital officials warned that without immediate access to replacement parts and fuel supplies, additional departments may be forced to cease operations in the coming days.
