Gaza's fuel stocks are nearly exhausted after four months without incoming fuel, jeopardizing humanitarian efforts. Hospitals are near service cessation, and the U.N. warns all humanitarian responses could cease soon if fuel supplies do not resume. Israeli authorities have restricted fuel entry since March, and despite rationing efforts by the U.N., critical services are shutting down. Attempts to reclaim fuel stocks from areas under evacuation orders have been obstructed, highlighting the challenges faced in maintaining essential operations and services in Gaza.
Available and accessible fuel stocks for humanitarian operations within Gaza are all but depleted, and critical services have already begun to shut down.
The entire humanitarian response may halt very soon unless the supply of fuel resumes immediately.
The U.N. has been rationing its fuel supplies to prioritize the most critical and lifesaving services - health, water, sanitation and telecommunications - but it is not enough.
Attempts to retrieve stocks from areas placed under displacement orders have often been denied, especially from the south.
