Gaza’s Power Crisis Threatens Lives | Johannesburg News

Hospitals in Gaza are crumbling under power outages as generator failures, fueled by a critical shortage of engine oil and spare parts, leave patients gasping for life-saving electricity. Doctors ration power between departments, shutting off essential equipment, while families scramble to afford fuel for neighborhood generators—now costing twenty times more than before. With grid electricity gone since October 7th and fuel imports restricted, the crisis deepens: patients like Fatima Abu Taima wait in terror for their breathing machines to kick on, while others, like Alaa Al-Hourani, fan themselves with cardboard as they endure unbearable heat and darkness. Medical charities warn this isn’t just an energy emergency—it’s a death sentence for vulnerable lives. Israel claims a monitored system exists to deliver essentials, but residents say it’s failing them, leaving everyone struggling to survive.
