TL;DR Summary

The fuel delivered by Israeli officials to Gaza is still far less than what is needed to cover the basic needs of civilians, according to the United Nations. The limited fuel supply is insufficient to keep critical infrastructure running, including desalination plants, sewage pumps, aid trucks, ambulances, and communication services. The UN commissioner for Palestinian refugees called for the regular and unconditional delivery of fuel to maintain lifesaving activities in Gaza. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden reaffirmed his support for a two-state solution and called for a revitalized Palestinian Authority to govern Gaza and the West Bank. Israeli airstrikes continue to target Gaza, causing civilian casualties, and pro-Palestinian protesters forced their way into a building at the University of Michigan.
