Hospitals in Gaza are "at risk of turning into morgues" as they are losing power during Israel's bombardment of the enclave, the International Committee of the Red Cross warned on Thursday.
A humanitarian crisis is spreading rapidly in Gaza, where aid agencies and health officials report that hundreds of thousands have been displaced amid shortages of food, water and electricity, putting an extra strain on medical facilities.
As Gaza loses power, hospitals lose power, putting newborns in incubators and elderly patients on oxygen at risk," ICRC regional director for the Near and Middle East Fabrizio Carboni said in a statement.
Gaza's only power plant has stopped working after running out of fuel, the head of Gaza's energy authority told CNN on Wednesday. People in the enclave can still use power generators for electricity, but with a blockade on all sides of the border, the fuel needed for the generators to run is running out, the official said.
Nearly 1,200 people have been killed in airstrikes in Gaza since Saturday, according to Palestinian health officials.
