OCHA: Aid distribution almost impossible in Gaza due to lack of fuel

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has warned that lack of regular fuel flows and the continued Israeli aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip impede aid distribution to millions of Palestinians.
OCHA: Aid distribution almost impossible in Gaza due to lack of fuel
The Israeli army occupied the Rafah border crossing with Egypt on 7 May and stopped the flow of aid into the enclave. This exacerbated the “man-made famine” in the Strip, while Jewish settlers prevented the flow of aid coming from Jordan through the Karm Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) crossing and travelling through the occupied West Bank.
Israel has now killed over 35,200 Palestinians and wounded more than 79,200 more. Most of the casualties are children and women. Millions are displaced in Gaza, and face famine and acute shortages of medical aid and other essentials.
Israel is facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice — which it denies — and has also laid waste to large swathes of the besieged enclave, devastating everything from housing to medical facilities, educational institutes and all sorts of other civilian infrastructure.
