Total disaster unfolding in Gaza
A situation we have feared for a long time is now a reality; the small remaining fuel reserves in Gaza are completely exhausted. Trucks have come to a halt, forklifts can’t unload goods, and no distribution of emergency aid takes place. This means that the already very limited aid that has entered Gaza in recent weeks is now totally prevented from reaching the people who so desperately need it. 2.3 million people are completely without access to vital assistance.
