FROM Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA COMMISSIONER-GENERAL PHILIPPE LAZZARINI<\/p>\n

AMMAN,\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip, on which over 2 million people depend, is gradually coming to an end because no fuel has been allowed into the Gaza Strip since 7 October.<\/p>\n

\u201cÄ¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA set off alarm bells over the fuel situation three weeks ago, warning about its fast-depleting supplies, and the impact on lifesaving operations. Since then, we have heavily rationed the use of fuel and accessed pre-existing, limited amounts stored in a depot inside the Gaza Strip, through close coordination with Israeli Authorities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe depot is now empty.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very simple. Without fuel, the humanitarian operation in Gaza is coming to an end. Many more people will suffer and will likely die.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unbelievable that humanitarian agencies have to beg for fuel and operate on life support.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the beginning of the war, fuel has been used as a weapon of war and this should stop immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appeal to all parties to make fuel available now and stop using humanitarian assistance for political or military gains.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
