The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said on Monday that the besieged Palestinian territory's health system is just "hours away" from collapse after fighting has blocked fuel shipments through key crossings. 

"We are just hours away from the collapse of the health system in the Gaza Strip due to the lack of the necessary fuel to operate generators in hospitals, ambulances, and (for vehicles to) transport staff," the ministry said on social media.
