Gaza’s civil defence warns vehicles are running out of fuel
The fuel shortage could force the agency – which carries out emergency and rescue services in Gaza – to halt operations “within the next few days”, it said in a post on Telegram.
“We call for pressure on the Israeli occupation authorities to allow the entry of sufficient quantities of fuel,” said the civil defence.
Israel has not allowed any fuel, or food or medicine for that matter, into the Gaza Strip since early March. A top Israeli official said earlier this week that it will continue to blockade Gaza as a means to force Hamas to release the remaining Israeli captives.
More strikes heard near Gaza City’s Zeitoun
Gaza’s civil defence has warned that in the coming days, their firetrucks are going to stop moving because of fuel shortages. What does this mean? It means people who are trapped under rubble are going to have to wait a long time under piles of concrete for any help.
Meanwhile, strikes continue. Just in the past few minutes, strikes could be heard in the eastern part of Gaza City, particularly in the direction of Zeitoun neighbourhood, where there are initial reports of tents being targeted.
