The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees has said that it will be forced to suspend aid work in the Gaza Strip within 48 hours, as an Israeli siege strains access to much-needed fuel.
In a social media post on Monday, Thomas White, the Gaza chief for the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), said that fuel has not been allowed into Gaza for more than a month, as humanitarian conditions reach critical levels.
“The humanitarian operation in Gaza will grind to a halt in the next 48 hours as no fuel is allowed to enter Gaza,” White wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
As Israel continues to hammer Gaza with air strikes amid a ground offensive on the territory, a siege cutting off access to food, electricity, and fuel has overwhelmed organisations trying to assist those displaced and wounded by the fighting.
Palestinian authorities have said that Israeli strikes on Gaza have killed at least 11,240 people, including more than 4,600 children, since fighting began on October 7 when the Palestinian armed group Hamas carried out an attack on southern Israel that killed about 1,200 people, according to Israeli authorities.

What do you think is the responsibility of the international community when a region faces a critical humanitarian crisis due to ongoing conflict?
@9GYBXHJ6mos6MO
Factual evidence should be analyzed to determine if aid work is beneficial to non-combatants in need of humanitarian aid and if true, further aid should be dispatched. It is also critical to prevent robbery of humanitarian aid for military or terroristic uses.
@9GY87PK6mos6MO
Their responsibility is to help provide aid for those innocent civilians, whether it's donating money or food or water or other necessities to aid those citizens in Gaza.
@9GYDDVH6mos6MO
I am on the side of innocence, meaning that we should provide aid and help to all the innocent human beings on both sides of the war, we aid the innocent and not another side.
@9GY9PYT6mos6MO
Should the country be acceptable of aid, for example, in a scenario where it was not of their fault, like with natural disasters, then yes. However with self inflicted crisis’s, it’s a bit more complicated, and depends on strategic interests.
@9GY5BRZPeace and Freedom6mos6MO
I think that it isn't necessarily the US's responsibility but they can step in to help
@9GY77PH6mos6MO
I believe that not very one in Gaza is a terrorist but a terrorist group is set up there
@9GY5SSL6mos6MO
No one wants Palestinians, nit even arab nations. Israel has the right to protects its citizens.
