Bombing displaced areas and warning of epidemics
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced that Israel had bombed the Khan Yunis camp in the southern Gaza Strip, the areas to which it had asked residents of the northern Strip to go.
This came in a statement by UNRWA on Tuesday after the Israeli army had previously asked the people of northern Gaza to leave towards southern Gaza under the pretext of “preserving their safety.”
The UNRWA statement warned of the danger of the lack of drinking water in Gaza to the lives of civilians, and stressed the high risk of drought and infectious diseases due to the collapse of sanitation services with the closure of the last seawater desalination plant.
According to UNRWA, the fuel reserve is sufficient for hospitals in Gaza for only 24 hours. Earlier Monday, UNRWA denied reports of fuel entering the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing.
“No supplies at all have entered Gaza since October 7. No fuel, no food, no water, no other kind of aid,” said UNRWA Director of Media Juliette Touma.
For its part, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip warned of the emergence of “dangerous epidemics” within the Strip due to the repercussions of the ongoing war since October 7, 2023.
In a related context, the World Health Organization said on Tuesday that it urgently needs to reach Gaza to deliver aid and medical supplies, while the United Nations organization warned of a long-term humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian Strip.
In a speech to the media, Richard Brennan, Regional Emergency Director of the Eastern Mediterranean Office of the World Health Organization, said that the organization held meetings with “decision makers” on Tuesday to provide access to Gaza as soon as possible. “We have aid in southern Rafah and are waiting for permission to enter Gaza,” he added, referring to the Rafah crossing, which was a vital artery before the fighting and is now a main route for bringing much-needed supplies into Gaza.
Regarding food, the World Food Program confirmed that the food stock in Gaza stores is sufficient for only four or five days.
As for the United Nations Human Rights Office, it confirmed on Tuesday that the siege imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip and the evacuation order there could rise to the level of the international crime of forcible transfer of civilians.
Office spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani said: “We are concerned that this order, coupled with the imposition of a complete blockade on Gaza, may not be considered a lawful emergency evacuation, and therefore may amount to forcible transfer of civilians in violation of international law.” The term “forced transfer” describes the forced transfer of civilian populations, which is a crime against humanity punishable by the International Criminal Court.
For the eleventh day, Israeli aircraft intensified their bombing of Gaza, targeting residential buildings and facilities, which as of Monday evening resulted in 2,837 martyrs, more than 12,000 martyrs, and more than 1,200 missing persons, including 500 children, in addition to cutting off supplies of water, electricity, food, and other basic facilities to the Strip.

Fuel shortage threatens a humanitarian catastrophe
For his part, a government official in the Gaza Strip warned of an expected humanitarian catastrophe soon, due to the fuel shortage and its near exhaustion as a result of the Israeli siege and intense bombing.
Government media official Salama Marouf said: “Today, the fuel stock is on the verge of running out as a result of the ongoing Israeli siege since October 7, which threatens an imminent collapse in the health system.”
Marouf added: "Running out of fuel means a death sentence for the sick, injured, and premature babies in hospitals because they are unable to work without electricity."
He continued: "Municipalities depend on fuel to pump water and transport waste and sewage, and its depletion turns the Gaza Strip into a health hazard that threatens its residents, and threatens their (municipalities') ability to provide residents with drinking water."
Palestinians treating the wounded from the Israeli bombing in tents set up for this purpose after hospital beds were filled, after the number of wounded reached about 9,700 .
The government official described the situation in the Gaza Strip as "a humanitarian catastrophe in front of the camera lenses, We call for Arab and international intervention to open the Rafah crossing to supply Gaza with fuel, medical aid, water and food."
