Gaza’s civil defence agency has said that a fuel shortage could force the organisation, which carries out emergency and rescue services in Gaza, to halt operations “within the next few days”, in a post on Telegram.
“We call for pressure on the Israeli occupation authorities to allow the entry of sufficient quantities of fuel,” said the civil defence.
Israel has not allowed any fuel, or food or medicine for that matter, into the Gaza Strip since early March. A top Israeli official said earlier this week that it will continue to blockade Gaza as a means to force Hamas to release the remaining Israeli captives.
