- Mer-C
Gaza – Director of the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza, Atef al-Kahlout revealed that the hospital will stop operating totally due to running out of fuel.
"Today, Thursday, November 9, 2023, there are only 1,100 liters of diesel left in the hospital and only enough for one day," al-Kahlout said in the account of the humanitarian organization MER-C Indonesia on the X platform, on Thursday.
“Generators will run out of fuel in 24 hours. If the hospital is not supplied with fuel in the next 24 hours, its operations will come to a complete halt,” he added.
Earlier, MER-C volunteer at the Indonesian Hospital, Fikri Rofiul Haq, on Wednesday said that humanitarian aid has not been able to enter the northern region of Gaza where the Indonesian Hospital is located.
"There are several trucks that have been allowed to enter the Gaza Strip, but the aid has not been evenly distributed," Haq remarked.
He said that the humanitarian aid that entered from the Rafah border crossing in southern Gaza has not yet reached the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza.
"Meanwhile, the central Gaza Strip continues to be bombarded (by Israel) to separate southern Gaza from northern Gaza,"
Haq emphasized that the Rafah border crossing had been closed again, restricting the movement of people and humanitarian aid.
