UNICEF head calls for more fuel into Gaza

In an interview with Al Jazeera a day after visiting southern Gaza, Catherine Russell said getting fuel inside the besieged territory “is absolutely critical”.
“I visited the hospital in Khan Younis and there the incubators are working … but of course, the doctors are planning to think about what will happen if they no longer have the electricity or the generators to fuel them,” she said.
“It’s obviously a huge concern, and I think the answer to that is we need to get more fuel into Gaza so that we can power not just these but other important things like the water treatment centres,” Russell added.
“We also need fuel for our vehicles so that we and other humanitarian operators can move around to provide services to people.”
