US EditionGaza on the Brink: UN Warns Fuel Shortage Threatens Humanitarian Collapse
GAZA STRIP, JUL 12 – UN agencies warn that without sufficient fuel, critical services supporting 2.1 million people in Gaza, including hospitals and water systems, face imminent collapse amid ongoing blockade.
- On July 12, 2025, the United Nations issued a warning highlighting an acute fuel crisis in Gaza, putting humanitarian efforts at risk and endangering the wellbeing of more than 2.1 million residents.
- This crisis stems from nearly two years of conflict since Hamas’s attack in October 2023 and ongoing fuel blockade restricting essential supplies into Gaza.
- Although 150,000 litres of fuel entered Gaza recently—the first delivery in 130 days—this quantity meets only a small fraction of daily needs for hospitals, water, and bakeries.
- Seven UN agencies emphasized that a continuous supply of fuel is essential for Gaza’s survival, warning that without it, critical health services, clean water access, and humanitarian aid delivery will fail.
- The UN urged all parties to ensure continuous fuel access to prevent a full humanitarian collapse and worsening conditions, including disease outbreaks and widespread starvation.
