Cairo, Egypt (PANA) - A last-minute extension of the pause in fighting in Gaza between Israel and Hamas on Thursday has offered hope that UN humanitarians and aid partners will be able to pursue their efforts to reach the enclave’s most vulnerable people.
The latest update from UN aid coordination office, OCHA, indicated that two hospitals in Gaza City, Al Ahli and As Sahaba, had received a total of 10,500 litres of fuel, which is enough to operate their generators for about seven days.
But humanitarians have warned that despite the pause in fighting, much more aid is needed, urgently.
They also warned that has been almost no improvement in access to clean water for residents in northern Gaza, after most of the main water production facilities shut down through lack of fuel, or damage from Israeli airstrikes launched after Hamas’s 7 October terror attacks that killed 1,200 and took another 240 hostage.
