The danger grows: Israel accepted for the first time

According to the statement shared by Israeli government sources with the press, the Israeli War Cabinet unanimously approved the proposal to allow two fuel tankers to enter the southern region of the Gaza Strip daily, within the scope of the request for USA.

It was stated that the fuel will be used to meet the needs of the United Nations (UN) in supporting water and sanitation infrastructure in the region.

“WILL BE DELIVERED TO THE CIVIL PUBLIC”

The statement states that this step “provides Israel with the international space for maneuver necessary to eliminate Hamas” and adds: “The tankers will be delivered to the civilian population in the southern Gaza Strip from the Rafah border gate through the UN, on the condition that they do not reach Hamas”. It was said.

THE PURPOSE IS TO PREVENT THE EPIDEMIC FROM SPREADING TO ISRAEL

The statement also noted that this measure aims to prevent epidemic diseases that are likely caused by the water problem caused by fuel shortages in the Gaza Strip from harming Israeli soldiers occupying the region and spreading within Israel. .

The following statements were used in the statement:

“This measure aims to support water and sanitation systems at a minimum level, to prevent, among other things, disease outbreaks that could spread throughout the region, harm the residents of the Gaza Strip and our forces (of the Israeli army), and even spread within Israel.”

THEY HAVE BEEN BLOCKING IT SINCE OCTOBER 7

Israel has blocked fuel from entering Gaza since October 7, when it began intense attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) reported yesterday that the water crisis in the southern Gaza Strip due to lack of fuel caused fatal cases of diarrhea.

The UNRWA statement noted that in 3 cities in the southern Gaza Strip, 76 water wells, 2 main drinking water facilities and 15 sewage pumping stations stopped working, affecting hundreds of thousands. of people because the fuel ran out.

The statement reported that sewage flowed into the streets of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip because all sewage pumps ran out of fuel.

1.7 MILLION PEOPLE WERE FORCED TO MIGRATE

International humanitarian organizations say fuel is vital for millions of displaced people to have access to clean water, medical care, collection of disease-causing garbage and wastewater disposal.

According to UN data, approximately 1.7 million people were forced to emigrate from the Gaza Strip, which has a population of 2.3 million, where Israel tightened the blockade and kept it under intense bombardment. (AA)
