On the humanitarian front, the spokesman for the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Stephane Dujarric, said at a press conference on Tuesday that Israel has rejected requests to provide hospitals operating in northern Gaza with fuel five times over the past week.
Dujarric explained that some hospitals in northern Gaza have been without new fuel supplies for more than 10 days, pointing out that there has been a large overcrowding of refugees in southern Gaza due to the ongoing Israeli evacuation decisions.
With US support, Israel has been waging since October 7, 2023, a devastating war on Gaza, leaving more than 134,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and deadly famine.
