NEW YORK, June 17 (Bernama-WAFA) -- The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said that Israel has been preventing the entry of fuel into the Gaza Strip for more than 100 days, threatening a complete halt to humanitarian operations in the besieged enclave, the Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA) reported.
The agency said in a post on X on Tuesday that the health, water, food, and communications sectors are at risk due to the Israeli occupation's blockade of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The Strip has been suffering a humanitarian catastrophe since Israel closed the crossings on March 2, preventing the entry of all supplies, including food, medicine, aid, and fuel, while its army escalates its genocide against Palestinians.
UNRWA stressed that humanitarian operations cannot be conducted without fuel, adding: "Without fuel, lives will be lost."
The UN agency emphasised the need to lift the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.
