AhlulBayt News Agency: The UN has affirmed that Israeli occupation army continues to block fuel shipments from entering Gaza for the 16th consecutive week.
In a news conference on Friday, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that “no fuel has entered the Strip for 16 weeks now,” warning of the catastrophic impacts such an Israeli measure have on the lives of Gaza’s residents.
“As I told you, we did manage to retrieve fuel from the At Tahreer station in Rafah on Wednesday, and a limited amount of that fuel was delivered yesterday to public utilities in southern Gaza. That allowed the continued operation of desalination plants, water trucking services and sewage pumping stations. However, fuel instability and fuel shortages continue to limit operations, resulting in reduced operating hours and capacity,” the spokesman added.
