UNRWA's Gaza Fuel Depot Depleted, Threatening Future Shutdowns

The UN Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, has announced that its fuel depot in Gaza has run dry, and within a few days, it will no longer be able to resupply hospitals, remove sewage, or provide drinking water. UNRWA is currently sheltering nearly 800,000 people who have fled their homes due to the Israeli military campaign. The agency's request to the Israeli military to replenish the fuel depot has gone unanswered. Without fuel, hospitals will cease functioning, waste removal services will halt, and desalination plants providing drinking water will stop, exacerbating the dire situation in Gaza.
