CAIRO - Palestinian Health Minister Mai al-Kaila said on Tuesday that three hospitals in the Gaza Strip were out of action because they had run out of fuel to run their electricity generators.

Al-Kila said in a press conference in Ramallah that there was an urgent need to establish a safe corridor to move injured and critically ill people to get treatment in Egyptian hospitals.
