Youth News Palestine-Gaza

The Palestinian Health Ministry in the de facto government in Gaza on Sunday announced the closure of surgery rooms in all hospitals in the strip, due to the depletion of nitrous oxide used in anesthetization.
Health Ministry spokesperson Khalid Radi said that reports from the company responsible for importing the gas have revealed that the Israeli authorities prohibit the entry of nitrous oxide into the Gaza Strip.
Radi said that the nitrous oxide reserve in the Gaza Strip was 44 balloons and 42 have been used. The remaining two balloons are also almost completely depleted.
The Health Ministry appealed for help to several international organisations, including the WHO, said Radi.
Radi said that the policies of the Israeli occupation are leading to the deaths of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
