In Gaza, the restrictions that Israeli authorities continue to impose on the entry of engine oil and spare parts put the lives of thousands of people at risk. This is the warning issued today by Doctors Without Borders (MSF), explaining that these supplies are necessary to keep hospital generators, ambulances, water pumps, and tankers running.

“The blockade of these essential services is emblematic of Israel’s systematic destruction of the conditions indispensable for life in Gaza,” the statement emphasizes, in which the organization denounces that in some facilities “MSF barely has enough engine oil for one month, and some equipment is already suffering from shortages.”
“MSF is forced to seek supplies on the local market, at exorbitant prices,” it added, “the availability of engine oil is so limited that, in the last 6 months, its price has increased 20-fold. By the end of July, it had exceeded $1,300 per liter. Neither the quality nor the availability of the product is guaranteed.”

“In Gaza, a deliberate wear-down policy”
“What we are witnessing in Gaza is not a series of isolated shortages, but a deliberate wear-down policy,” said Filipe Ribeiro, MSF mission chief in Palestine. “For more than 2 years, we have observed how Israeli policies hinder the entry of supplies. These policies do not just delay aid; they dismantle the very systems on which people depend to survive.” “Today it is engine oil and spare parts. Tomorrow it will be something else,” Ribeiro said. “The items change, but the logic remains the same: to reduce people to conditions where life becomes unsustainable, where dignity is systematically taken away through the denial of the most ordinary and essential goods.”
In Gaza, most electricity has been cut off by Israeli authorities and much of the electrical infrastructure has been destroyed. Hospitals and other essential services now depend almost entirely on generators. Without engine oil and spare parts, these generators break down more and more frequently. If the generators stop working, there are no alternative energy sources, such as solar panels or replacement equipment. Even new generators and new vehicles have been blocked by Israeli authorities.
