Medical sources in Gaza warned on 21 October that dwindling generator oil could interrupt electricity to critical hospital departments, WAFA reported. They said hospitals need more than 2,500 litres each month and that limited emergency deliveries cannot sustain prolonged operation. They called for access for oil and spare parts; the report did not say that hospital power had already failed.
