The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced that its operations in the Gaza Strip had been completely paralyzed due to a lack of fuel and a communications outage.

UNRWA Director of Communications and Media, Juliet Touma, said that their work has become impossible in light of the current circumstances in which the besieged sector is experiencing, stressing that the humanitarian situation should not have reached what it is currently.
