Adnan Abu Hasna, the media adviser for UNRWA, said that the Israeli
occupation authorities are holding 6,000 agency trucks loaded with food
supplies sufficient for the Gaza Strip for three months, in addition to
hundreds of thousands of tents and blankets designated for about 1.3
million Palestinians as the humanitarian crisis worsens.

Abu Hasna explained, in an interview with Al Jazeera, that the number of
trucks currently entering Gaza exceeds the average that used to enter
before the ceasefire. However, he stressed that these quantities do not
match the enormous level of need inside the Strip.

He added that the occupation authorities continue to ban the entry of
hundreds of vital items, including health, sanitation, water, and food
supplies, noting that they allow more materials to enter for the commercial
sector than for humanitarian and relief organizations.

Abu Hasna confirmed that most of Gaza’s population relies entirely on
humanitarian aid, as residents have lost their purchasing power, except for
a limited number of UN agency employees and what remains of Palestinian
Authority staff.

He explained that humanitarian organizations submit requests to bring in
essential materials such as spare parts for desalination and sewage plants,
medical equipment, and international teams and staff. However, Israel
rejects most of these requests, limiting its approvals to basic supplies
such as canned food, flour, and some medicines.

Abu Hasna warned that the continuation of this situation will push Gaza
back to square one, noting that limited rainfall over the past two days
caused rainwater to mix with sewage due to the destruction of
infrastructure, leading to widespread collapse of tens of thousands of
tents.

Meanwhile, waste continues to pile up, and sewage water floods the narrow
streets near displaced persons’ tents in the southern part of the Strip,
while children live in an environment rife with diseases and epidemics,
according to testimonies from the displaced.

Municipal officials told Al Jazeera correspondent Hani Al-Shaer that the
current fuel crisis is the worst since the war began two years ago and has
paralyzed all aspects of municipal work. Municipal vehicles, already in
poor condition, have stopped operating due to fuel shortages, while the
occupation authorities have not allowed new vehicles to enter.

The Civil Defense also faces extreme challenges due to the severe fuel
shortage, preventing its teams from reaching distress areas in time,
whether for rescue operations during weather depressions or for retrieving
victims and removing dangers threatening the population.
