Just hours after receiving its first delivery of fuel since the Israel-Hamas conflict began on October 7, the UN has warned its operations in Gaza are on the brink of collapse, AFP reports.

“To have fuel for trucks only will not save lives anymore,” said Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees.

“Our entire operation is now on the verge of collapse,” the UNRWA chief wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
