Gaza is facing a critical shortage of fuel and may soon see dwindling stocks of food and other essentials after Israel closed all border crossings, citing the ongoing conflict with Iran. The shutdown, which began Saturday following joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran, has left officials warning that hospitals, water systems, and sanitation services could be at risk if supplies are not restored quickly. Israeli authorities have not indicated how long the closures will last.
Local and UN officials say Gaza relies almost entirely on fuel imports from Israel and Egypt, and current reserves are expected to last only a few days. Karuna Herrmann, a UN official overseeing fuel distribution, said the enclave may have just a couple of days of fuel remaining, while aid coordinator Amjad Al-Shawa estimated supplies could last three to four days. Stocks of vegetables, flour, and other necessities could also run out if crossings remain closed. Many Palestinians in Gaza are already internally displaced after years of conflict with Hamas militants. Residents, like Hamada Abu Laila, expressed frustration at being caught in the middle of a regional conflict. Israel’s COGAT agency said that food delivered since the October truce should be sufficient for the population, but declined to comment on fuel shortages.
