"Olga Cherevko, a spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Gaza, confirmed the UN had received the note from the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the arm of the Israeli military that oversees aid flows into Gaza. The COGAT note said no fuel or gas will be allowed into the war-torn enclave except for specific needs related to humanitarian infrastructure."
"The restrictions came hours after Israeli forces killed at least nine Palestinians in attacks in northern and southern Gaza, medical sources told Al Jazeera. At least six Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza City, and three others were killed in Khan Younis. Sources from al-Ahli Arab Hospital told Al Jazeera Arabic on Tuesday that Israeli soldiers killed five Palestinians in the Shujayea neighbourhood of Gaza City."
Israeli authorities notified the United Nations that only 300 aid trucks will be allowed daily into Gaza, half the number previously agreed. The Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) stipulated that no fuel or gas will enter except for specific humanitarian infrastructure needs. Israeli officials announced the Rafah border crossing with Egypt will remain closed. Israeli forces killed at least nine Palestinians in northern and southern Gaza, including six in Gaza City and three in Khan Younis. Hospital sources reported five deaths in Shujayea. Aid levels and fuel restrictions leave famine-stricken Gaza with insufficient relief.
