A statement on Telegram by the civil defence agency says body recovery operations in the war-battered enclave have been suspended as rescue vehicles ran out of petrol. Hazard removal operations around the vast piles of destroyed infrastructure have also been stopped because of a lack of fuel needed to power heavy equipment, it said. Crews are unable to respond to weather-related distress calls. The agency called on the international community for immediate action to provide crucial fuel supplies needed for humanitarian services throughout the devastated Gaza Strip.
