While the world¡¯s attention is elsewhere, our Gaza team continues to face unacceptable risks to deliver aid.
Yesterday, a Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµOPS tanker on its way to collect urgently needed fuel for distribution inside Gaza was struck from the direction of the sea.
No one was injured. The tanker was, however, directly hit and damaged while empty, en route to the crossing to load.
Our teams are taking extraordinary risks every day to keep humanitarian operations and life-sustaining services. They should not have to do that under fire.
I call for a full investigation into this latest incident.
Fuel must be allowed into Gaza consistently, its delivery facilitated safely and without interruption to keep humanitarian operations and essential services running: hospitals, water and sewage systems and bakeries.
