Catastrophe in Jordan: At least six patients died due to oxygen shortages in public hospital
Amman (QNN)- Jordan's Minister of Health, Nathir Obeidat, resigned on Saturday assuming moral responsibility for shortages of oxygen that led to at least six deaths of ICU patients at Al Salt public hospital this morning.
Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) at the hospital were cut off from oxygen, which led to at least six deaths.
Jordan's state TV. announced that the Prime Minister ordered to investigate the incident.
Fayez Kharawsheh, son of a patient in the ICU at the hospital, said that "the Civil Defence arrived only after the oxygen had run out, while the head of the hospital did not answer calls of patients' families".
King Abdullah II visited the hospital, while dozens of angry family members of the patients gathered at the hospital.
An Israeli group, whose founder supported US President Donald Trump’s plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from Gaza and was founded by soldiers and former intelligence officers, was behind last year’s flights that facilitated the travel of hundreds of Palestinians from the war-torn Strip and landed in South Africa and Indonesia, an AP investigation has found.
Israel is reportedly planning to further restrict the entry of aid into the war-torn Gaza Strip, despite the so-called ceasefire and amid an already severe humanitarian crisis after two years of genocide.
