The most important commodity fuel is missing from the second convoy of 17 trucks entering Gaza, UN’s Palestine refugee agency Director Thomas White has said.

“The key commodity for us right now is fuel. The commodities that are coming in are important – food and medicine — but they don’t include fuel,” he told Al Jazeera.

“This fuel runs desalination plants to provide drinkable water, provides food [by powering] bakeries, allows hospitals to keep running and for our big logistics operations here, it fuels our cars and generators,” White added.
