UN gets first fuel into Gaza in 130 days, says UN spokesperson
- The UN delivered the first fuel into the Gaza Strip in 130 days, bringing in about 75,000 liters from Israel, but stated that it is insufficient to meet daily energy needs, according to spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.
- Dujarric warned that the amount of fuel delivered does not cover even one day of energy requirements, and urgent greater volumes are needed.
- Without increased fuel deliveries, approximately 44,000 children may lose access to clean drinking water, increasing risks of water-borne illnesses, according to Dujarric.
- Reports indicated that ongoing Israeli military operations have resulted in casualties, particularly among women and children, as noted by Dujarric.
