Many of the nine hospitals that receive wounded civilians face shortages of blood, transfusion materials and other critical supplies. Water and power outages and a lack of fuel to run the hospitals’ generators make their operation even more difficult. Huge shortages of staff, particularly anesthesiologists, are being reported, the agency pointed out.
