WHO: Fuel Scarcity Threatens to Interrupt Health Services in Gaza Strip


The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed concern about the lack of aid reaching the Gaza Strip.

Regional Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Hanan Balkhi said in a press conference that the health sector in Gaza alone needs 80,000 liters of fuel per day, but the last supplies that arrived in the sector at the end of last month were between 195,000 and 200,000 liters.

She added that this shipment was shared by all sectors, including the water, sanitation and hygiene sector, and as a result, hospitals are once again facing a fuel shortage that threatens the interruption of vital services and the death of injured people due to the delay of ambulances.

Despite warnings from United Nations agencies about the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli entity continues its war on the Strip, ignoring two UN Security Council resolutions demanding that it stop it immediately, and orders from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding ending the invasion of Rafa
h city, south of the Strip, and taking measures to prevent acts of genocide .
