Lifeline to Gaza: Fuel Trucks Poised for Entry Amid Crisis
Amid a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, fueled by severe fuel shortages impacting medical services, two trucks carrying diesel are set to enter the enclave. Restrictions by Israel have significantly limited aid flow, further exacerbating conditions for Palestinians. Calls for increased aid resonated, highlighting the dire need for resource access.
Amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis, two fuel trucks carrying 107 tons of diesel are poised to enter Gaza, according to Egypt's Al Qahera News TV. The enclave has faced severe aid restrictions imposed by Israel following a past assault by Hamas.
Fuel shortages have critically affected medical operations in Gaza, with health authorities indicating that hospitals are operating under strain, necessitating service prioritization. Despite the rare instance of fuel entry since Israel's restrictions in March, there is no confirmation of the trucks' arrival.
Gaza's health ministry reports a rising toll of malnutrition-related deaths, with international bodies calling for increased aid access. Israel, attributing Gaza's plight to Hamas, has taken measures for aid delivery, though agencies argue these remain inadequate.
