The Director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Gaza Strip, Thomas White, warned on Monday that the agency’s humanitarian operations would be halted within 48 hours because fuel would not be allowed to enter the Gaza Strip, against which the Israeli occupation forces have launched an aggression since the 7th of last month.

According to European Euronews, White said, “Two of the agency’s main contractors stopped working this morning because they ran out of fuel,” indicating that this would deprive 200,000 people of drinking water in the besieged Strip.
