Meanwhile, the death toll from the Israeli attacks rises to 7,326 and the wounded are already 18,967.
A team of Ten foreign doctors entered the Gaza Strip today through the Egyptian Rafah crossing, along with a convoy made up of other ten trucks loaded with humanitarian aidbut without fuelas reported by various local sources.
The spokesman for the Palestinian side of the crossing, Wael Abu Omar, detailed that the trucks are “loaded with water, food and medicine.”
For their part, sources on the Egyptian side of Rafah have indicated to information agencies that the ten doctors belong to the Red Cross, an organization that has been managing the entry of aid through the crossing, but has not specified their nationality. Likewise, they have confirmed that the new shipment of humanitarian aid does not include fuel, a resource that the Israeli authorities do not allow entry, and that is extremely necessary to power hospitals, desalination plants and other essential services.
With this entry of humanitarian aid, there are now 84 trucks, in six different batches, that have accessed the Palestinian enclave through Egypt since Israel allowed the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza last Saturday.
Meanwhile, the United Nations humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian Territories, Lynn Hastings, said in a press conference that emergency generators that power many essential services “are shutting down one by one due to lack of fuel.” However, he added that a limited amount of fuel is being able to enter Gaza through a pumping station “paid for by Qatar and brought to Rafah with Israel’s knowledge.”
In this way, the UN Refugee Agency (UNRWA), one of the main humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza, has gained access to 200,000 liters of fuel, when it needs about 130,000 daily, Hastings explained.
