Gaza's hospitals and homes struggle to keep generators running as oil shortages bite

By Nidal al-Mughrabi, Haseeb Alwazeer and Dawoud Abu Alkas CAIRO/GAZA, Sept 10 (Reuters) - As power cuts cascade through one of Gaza's largest functioning hospitals and patients wait for treatment in sweltering wards, medics warn that shortages of engine oil and spare parts are causing generators to seize up, putting lives at risk. The crisis is spreading beyond hospitals, where soaring costs for oil and diesel are making electricity from neighbourhood generators increasingly unaffordable for families that depend on it.
