In a joint statement, UN aid agencies have raised alarm that hospitals in Gaza no longer have fuel and are running on small amounts that they managed to secure locally, which are expected to run out the next day or so.

“Today stocks in shops are nearly exhausted and bakeries are closing, while tens of thousands of people are displaced and unable to cook or safely purchase food,” they said.

“Gaza was a desperate humanitarian situation before the most recent hostilities. It is now catastrophic. The world must do more.”
