Geneva, The World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday warned that severe fuel shortages in the Gaza Strip could have a catastrophic impact due to severe lack of fuel. " Further disruption to health services is imminent in Gaza due to a severe lack of fuel. Only 90,000L of fuel entered Gaza yesterday. The health sector alone needs 80,000L daily, forcing the WHO and its partners to make impossible choices", Director-General of WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus posted on X platform. Ghebreyesus stressed the need for fuel to prevent services from grinding to a halt, warning that with European Gaza Hospital out of service since 2 July, losing more hospitals in the Strip would be catastrophic.
