Israel claims to permit entry of two fuel trucks into Gaza each day

Israel will now let two fuel trucks go into Gaza each day because the US asked them to.

A person from the US State Department said that they will let 140,000 liters of fuel come in every two days.

Most of the supplies are for trucks that bring help, and also for helping the UN provide water and clean facilities, the official stated.

The remaining money is for phone and internet services, but they got shut off because there was no more fuel.

On Friday, the company that gives Gaza’s internet and phone services said that they are working again after getting some fuel from Unrwa, the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees.

The US government told Israel to sign the fuel agreement by putting a lot of pressure on them.

The agreement was made weeks ago, but Israel delayed it for two reasons. Israeli leaders told the US that there was still fuel in southern Gaza, and they also wanted to see if they could make a deal to release a hostage before taking action.

Biden is dealing with disagreement within his own group over Israel’s attack on Gaza.

The leader of Unrwa said on Thursday that the agency might have to stop all its work because it doesn’t have enough fuel.

In its latest report, the agency said it needs “160,000 litres of fuel every day for basic humanitarian operations” – more than twice what was agreed upon.

Before, an Israeli official said that they would give fuel to the people in southern Gaza through the UN at the Rafah crossing, as long as it doesn’t go to Hamas.

The Israeli official said the fuel would help support water, sewage, and sanitation systems to prevent the outbreak of diseases in the area.

Many groups from different countries are very worried about the difficult situation for people in Gaza.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that there are serious problems with the spread of illness in Gaza. The healthcare system and sanitation facilities have been greatly affected by the lack of fuel and Israeli bombing.

On Friday, Richard Peeperkorn from the WHO in the Palestinian Territories said that more than 70,000 people have gotten very sick with breathing problems and over 44,000 have had diarrhea. These numbers are much higher than what was expected.

Gaza needs fuel to power the desalination plant, supply electricity to homes and hospitals, and for sanitation, transportation, and communication systems.

It is also very important for getting help to people all over the area.

Israel stopped fuel from going into Gaza because they think Hamas might take it and use it for war.

Before the recent war, Israel gave most of the electricity to Gaza. The rest of the electricity came from the only power plant in Gaza, but it is not working now.

On Saturday, the leader of Nasser hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, said it got the bodies of 26 people and 23 others who were badly hurt after a bomb hit a home in Hamad city.

The Israeli army has not said anything about the report yet.

At the same time, the Red Crescent reported that five Palestinians died in an Israeli air attack on a building in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus, West Bank.

The Israeli military said it was looking into the reports.

The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has told Israel to quickly do something to calm down the situation in the West Bank. This includes dealing with increasing levels of violent behavior by settlers.

The strike happened a day later the Israeli military said it killed at least seven fighters in two separate fights in the West Bank.

Israel started a new attack and military operation because Hamas attacked on 7th October, killing about 1,200 people and taking more than 230 people hostage. Hamas is considered a terrorist group by the UK and US.

At least 12,000 people have died in the area since Israel started attacking, according to the health ministry in the Palestinian territory.
