Al-Ameri warned that a prolonged siege could lead to a complete collapse of healthcare services at the hospital.

“We have no reserve diesel supplies. Our stocks ran out early in the siege and we are now buying it on the black market almost every day, at prices that have reached five times what they were before the siege.”
