The General Directorate of Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip warned, on Thursday, of a complete halt to its humanitarian services provided to the displaced in the area described by the Israeli occupation as the "humanitarian zone" in the southern Gaza Strip, due to a stifling fuel crisis.

The Director of Supply and Equipment in the Civil Defense, Muhammad Al-Mughair, said that international organizations have refused to provide the Civil Defense with fuel since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on the Strip, justifying this with Israeli allegations.

He stressed that the crisis affected all firefighting and rescue vehicles in the southern region, as 13 vehicles out of 22 stopped working due to fuel shortages.

Al-Mughair explained that the civil defense crews are working throughout the sector with the least available capabilities, stressing the need to provide them with the necessary fuel to ensure the continuation of rescue operations and the provision of humanitarian services.

He stressed the continuation of appeals to international organizations and concerned parties to provide the necessary support, warning of the repercussions of this crisis on the lives of thousands of displaced people who depend on civil defense interventions.

Al-Mughair held the UN organizations and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs responsible for the continued prevention of fuel supplies to the Civil Defense, pointing out that this situation threatens the lives of the displaced who are suffering from the consequences of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
