Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital is facing critical hours as the facility is experiencing a power outage due to a lack of fuel or electricity generators, putting hundreds of lives at risk, Al Jazeera reports.

Muhammad Abu Salmiya, the director of Al-Shifa Hospital, warns that hundreds of lives now hang in the balance.

The implications have become painfully clear as the life-saving equipment in the ICUs, operating rooms and kidney dialysis units is grinding to a halt.

In Nasser Hospital, the largest medical facility in southern Gaza, medical teams have told Al Jazeera that the remaining fuel will only last for the next 24 hours.
