❗️Gaza faces imminent fuel shortages after border crossings are shut
Gaza is quickly depleting its already scarce fuel reserves, and supplies of basic food items could soon become strained, according to officials, after Israel halted the flow of fuel and goods into the Strip.
"I expect we have maybe a couple of days' running time," said UN official Karuna Herrmann, who oversees fuel distribution in Gaza.
Amjad al-Shawa, a Gaza-based Palestinian humanitarian coordinator working with the UN and non-governmental organizations, estimated that fuel stocks may last just three to four days, warning that vegetables, flour, and other essentials could also soon be exhausted if border crossings remain closed.
