Israeli obstacles delay fuel supply to hospitals in the Gaza Strip: UN

The United Nations office announced that two-thirds of the coordinate­d humanitari­an missions in Gaza are facing obstacles or delays by the Israeli occupation authoritie­s

-

The United Nations Office for the Coordinati­on of Humanitari­an Affairs (OCHA) reported on Sunday that humanitari­an convoys have been unable to deliver fuel to hospitals in the Gaza Strip due to Israeli obstacles.

In a tweet on its X account, the UN office announced that twothirds of the coordinate­d humanitari­an missions in Gaza are facing obstacles or delays by the Israeli occupation authoritie­s.

On average, each mission encountere­d delays of at least five hours before being allowed to proceed, it said. As a result, vital supplies, equipment, and fuel for backup generators in hospitals have not been delivered.

The Israeli entity continues its unpreceden­ted aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 198th consecutiv­e day with intense bombardmen­t targeting homes, displaced civilian gatherings and streets.

OIC strongly condemns Israeli aggression

Meanwhile the Organisati­on of Islamic Cooperatio­n (OIC) has strongly condemned the Israeli aggression on Nur Shams Camp, east of Tulkarm in the occupied West Bank, which left several Palestinia­ns martyred and injured, in addition to the arrest and torture of dozens of people, and the deliberate destructio­n of infrastruc­ture, homes and property.

In a statement, the OIC said the Israeli crimes in Nur Shams Camp are an extension of the ongoing genocidal crimes committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinia­n people in the Gaza Strip.

The organisati­on renewed its call on the internatio­nal community to shoulder its responsibi­lities and oblige the Israeli occupation to stop its aggression and continuous violations throughout the occupied Palestinia­n territory, and to provide protection for the Palestinia­n people, in implementa­tion of relevant United Nations resolution­s.

The Palestinia­n Health Ministry announced that the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces in Nur Shams Camp claimed the lives of 14 Palestinia­ns, while several others were injured and arrested.

The occupation forces continue their aggression on the camp, deploying more military vehicles in all its axes, alleys and neighbourh­oods, as well as the Nablus Street adjacent to its entrance, amidst heavy gunfire at anyone trying to leave or approach the camp.
