Report by Selma Lomax, [email protected]Gbowee, according to the hospital staffs, was the first to donate 500 gallons of fuel to the hospital. Dr. Sibley said doctors and nurses were operating in the dark, while vital medical supplies were lacking. “The situation was compounding the hospital’s problems because staffs can’t report to work while patients flock to the hospital,” Dr. Sibley said. Depletion in fuel, Dr. Sibley said, led to complete paralysis in the services of the hospital, which serves more than 10,000 people in Central Liberia. Phebe hospital needs 450 liters of fuel per month, to provide 18 hours of electricity, according to Dr. Sibley.
