The director of the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees in Spain (UNRWA), Raquel Martí, has made a “desperate appeal” for lack of fuel in Gaza, since Israel does not allow their entry through the Rafah border crossing. “We are in an extreme situation”Martí has ​​assured, and has “begged” that the entry of fuel be allowed to the Strip.

“We are distributing the last liters that we had left in our warehouses“, he noted in an interview this Thursday on La Hora de La 1, where he explained that they have “distributed fuel to restore some water services, for desalination plants, for wells to be able to pump water to homes and for bakeries.” Likewise, they have also distributed fuel to hospitals together with the World Health Organization (WHO): ““The last thing we had left”.

“We can say that today There will be absolutely nothing left in our warehouses. We are already in an extreme situation, and we continue begging for fuel to enter,” Martí has ​​warned. Already this Wednesday, UNRWA had warned that it will be forced to suspend its operations due to lack of fuel. This will mean an even greater disaster in Gaza because the Agency is in charge of collecting the aid that enters through the Rafah crossing, unblocked for the entry of trucks with humanitarian materials. But they also welcome refugees in their facilities, which have already exceeded their capacity by 200%.

“We have 15,000 people who We no longer know where to leave them“Lamented Martí. In addition, he has warned that the situation is getting worse since diseases are spreading due to lack of hygiene, water and food, when many hospitals have stopped working due to lack of fuel. “We are all overwhelmed. “This situation is unsustainable,” she warned.
