Yahya al-Sarraj, the mayor of Gaza City, warned that the continued Israeli aggression and the fuel shortage crisis pose challenges to providing basic services to citizens. “We call on the international community to intervene urgently and provide fuel, electricity generators and equipment to provide services,” al-Sarraj said in a press conference. He added that more than 50,000 tonnes of waste have accumulated in the blockaded territory, threatening the spread of dangerous diseases and epidemics.
