The World Health Organization is facing a critical shortage of fuel for its medical operations in southern Gaza, with only three days' worth left. This scarcity has already led to the closure of one of the three remaining hospitals in Rafah due to lack of fuel. The situation is exacerbated by the closure of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt by Israel's military, hindering the entry of essential humanitarian aid into Gaza.
The United Nations has reported a dire humanitarian crisis in northern Gaza, describing it as a 'full-blown famine.' Despite Israel reopening the Kerem Shalom crossing, the main entry point for aid, no supplies have reached Gaza due to ongoing fighting and the absence of personnel to receive the aid on the Palestinian side.
