What little fuel remains is to feed the essential operations, but it is exhausted quickly, and there are practically no more additional accessible stocks, said UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric, citing reports from the United Nations Coordination Office, Ochha.
“Hospitals ration. The ambulances are stoned. The water systems are by the edge. And the deaths that is likely to cause could soon increase unless the Israeli authorities allow a new fuel to penetrate, “said Dujarric.
“We need fuel urgently and we need it in large quantities to feed the most essential parts, including water desalination, hospitals and telecommunications,” he added, noting that fuel has not entered the enclave in recent months.
Trip khan younis
Meanwhile, Israeli forces continue to attack civil infrastructure in Gaza and issues new travel orders.
Tuesday, such orders were issued for certain parts of Khan Younis, specifically commanding those who stay in tents to move, reported Mr. Dujarric.
The card published in parallel with the order indicates that certain areas included had not been subjected to travel orders since the ceasefire in March, he said.
“The issuance of a displacement order does not relieve any part of the imperative to save civilians, including those who cannot or do not want to move.”
Backup hospitals
Mr. Dujarric also reiterated the United Nations World Organization (WHO) Call to protect the Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis, warning that the hospital is overwhelmed by trauma injuries to double its capacity.
In a video message sent from the hospital on Monday, Rik Peeperkorn, which is representative of the occupied Palestinian territory, said that the installation was extremely low on trauma supplies, essential drugs, equipment and fuel, and that the staff are exhausted.
Humanitarian movements
Meanwhile, OCHA reported that humanitarian movements inside Gaza remain strongly restricted: only four attempts out of 12 on Monday to coordinate movements with the Israeli security authorities have been fully facilitated and a single supply of supplies.
Four other attempts were rejected by the Israeli authorities, interrupting efforts to evacuate patients, recover disabled trucks or release debris.
Although the other four were initially approved, obstacles at ground level have finally undermined the ability to carry out the missions.
