press release
The General Directorate of Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip announces that most of its vehicles have stopped responding to humanitarian interventions in the Central Districts and the Gaza Strip, due to the lack of spare parts for maintenance.
Only one rescue vehicle participates in the execution of the humanitarian missions in Central Governorate level, after the breakdowns of the Bureij and Nusayrat fire engines and the Deir al-Balah ambulance, as well as the collapse of the "al-Tufa" fire and rescue vehicles and the Khul rescue vehicle.
The lack of maintenance spare parts, the high prices of those available in the local market and the unavailability of fuel are the main reasons for the termination of the obligations of these cars.
