The Israel Defense Forces says it supplied 300 liters of fuel for “urgent medical purposes” at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, but Hamas prevented the medical center from receiving it.

Early this morning, troops placed the jerrycans near the hospital, as had been coordinated in advance with officials at Shifa.

      Then you know you can’t just power a bed in a vacuum…

        I know that the difference between an ICU bed and a floor bed has more to do with nursing ratios than equipment. But nurses don’t run on gasoline.

          People supposed to work in the dark? ICU is inside the building. You going to run extension cords down the hallway? (Lol). What about a/c hard to live when temp spikes to 120f. I could go on but it’s already clear you’re going to die on this impossible hill.

          Let’s not forget ICU patients tend to need blood work, radiology exams, medications, etc… you know the little things.

            And buildings have windows… At this point they’ve likely ran out of electricity and are currently making do with literally nothing. So some fuel to run equipment is literally better than literally nothing.

            The fuck? https://www.accuweather.com/en/ps/gaza/258096/daily-weather-forecast/258096

            Where are you seeing that? In this current age of the internet where you can know the weather all over the world accurately to the degree… Why are you supposing something so far out of the realm of reality? Is it because you’re arguing in bad faith?

            Let’s not forget ICU patients tend to need blood work, radiology exams, medications, etc… you know the little things.

            Which they currently have 0 of… Gee golly wish there was some fuel to power those things! Even if it was just one fuel load!

            I could go on but it’s already clear you’re going to die on this impossible hill.

            And you probably will… but your forte is clearly not in logic or sense.
