The UN’s Farhan Haq warns that Israel’s continued blockade on the entry of fuel into Gaza is affecting “lifesaving” operations in the territory, Al Jazeera reports.
“In the past two days, the UN collected some 300,000 litres from the Karem Abu Salem [Kerem Shalom] crossing,” Haq told reporters.
“This is far less than what is needed to sustain operations,” he said. “For example, our partners working in health warned today that the lives of more than 100 premature babies are in imminent danger due to the lack of fuel.”
