The fuel crisis continues to threaten the operation of critical health services in Gaza, the UN’s humanitarian agency has warned. The crisis, exacerbated by the looting of fuel trucks, continues to threaten the operation of health facilities, directly affecting about 2,000 patients in Deir al Balah, Khan Younis and Rafah, OCHA said. “The fuel crisis is also threatening the continued operation of 75 haemodialysis machines across the Strip that represent a lifeline for approximately 700 patients suffering from kidney diseases, the majority of them being in central and southern Gaza,” it added.
