Fuel Shortage Threatens Aid Work in Gaza as UNRWA Faces Imminent Shutdown

The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has warned that it will have to suspend aid work in the Gaza Strip within 48 hours due to a fuel shortage caused by the Israeli siege. The lack of fuel has already overwhelmed organizations trying to assist those affected by the ongoing conflict, with hospitals running out of fuel and unable to save patients. The conditions created by the bombing and the siege could also lead to the outbreak of disease, as access to clean water is severely restricted.
