The director of Gaza’s Indonesian Hospital, Dr Marwan Sultan, says hospital wards have become overcrowded with wounded patients and intensive care beds are full, Al Jazeera reports.

“Generators must be operated 24 hours a day to ensure the continued operation of ventilators connected to the wounded,” Sultan said, according to the Palestinian Information Centre.

“We call on all international and humanitarian organisations to work seriously and quickly to provide the hospital with the fuel needed to operate it, otherwise we are facing a real disaster that threatens the death of a large number of wounded and sick people in intensive care units.”
