GAZA – The Commissioner-General of the
United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on
Wednesday that all agency operations are now on the verge of collapse. He
stated on X formerly known as Twitter, "By the end of the day, around 70
percent of Gaza's population will not be able to
access clean water."

According to Al-Mamlaka Tv, He added that
obtaining fuel for trucks alone will no longer save people's lives, and waiting
any longer will lead to loss of life.
The Director of
UNRWA Affairs in Gaza, Thomas
White, mentioned that the agency received about 23,000 liters of fuel, which is
only 9 percent of its daily needs to continue life-saving activities in the
sector.
White stated that the Israeli occupation
authorities restricted the use of fuel, limiting it only to the transportation of
aid from
Rafah, so it is not used for hospitals or providing water.
He added that the depletion of fuel led to the
cessation of all three sewage pumps in Rafah and the desalination station in
Khan Yunis, which provides water to hundreds of thousands of people.
He said that all wells in Rafah, which are the
only source of water in the city, have stopped pumping water due to the
depletion of fuel. He added that the Al-Amal Hospital, affiliated with the
Palestinian Red Crescent, has stopped all its services except for emergencies
due to the lack of fuel for ambulances.
