The United Nations organization has warned that relief workers may be forced to stop humanitarian operations in Gaza if Israel does not remove the blockade to fuel supplies.

If we don't get fuel immediately, we'll be forced to stop our operations at the Gaza Strip. Time is running out”, said U spokeswoman NRWA, Tamara Al-Rifai for BBC.

“We need fuel so our trucks can get the necessary aid. We need fuel for our water desalination plants so people can get access to clean water. Hospitals need fuel, for machines that save lives, without which people can die”, she said,

The Israeli Protection Forces rejected UN demands saying that the “fuel would not be accessed” at the Gaza Strip after Hamas needed its “operational infrastructure”.
