Motor oil shortage in Gaza is crippling everything from hospitals to homes

Motor oil shortage in Gaza is crippling everything from hospitals to homes

Gaza's motor oil shortage has become a crisis. The price of oil has skyrocketed, leaving drivers, like taxi driver Ismail Zaqout, unable to work. In hospitals, critical equipment and ambulances are at risk because they can't get oil changes, endangering patients. Bakeries, factories, and power generators are also grinding to a halt, threatening food supply and electricity. A generator operator in Gaza City said his service has dropped from over 16 hours a day to just 11 due to unaffordable costs. The shortage is paralyzing daily life. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2026/04/22/running-on-empty-how-gazas-motor-oil-shortage-is-paralysing-daily-life/

16 hours down to 11... that's a massive drop. the domino effect on food and power is terrifying.

This is beyond an economic issue. It's a humanitarian catastrophe.
