AMMAN –<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIn three days, UNRWA will run out of fuel, critical for our humanitarian response across the Gaza Strip.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWithout fuel, there will be no water, no functioning <\/span>hospitals and bakeries. Without fuel, aid will not reach those\u00a0in desperate need. Without fuel, there will be no humanitarian assistance.<\/p>\n \u201c<\/span>No fuel will further strangle the children, women and people of Gaza.<\/p>\n \u201cUNRWA is the largest humanitarian actor in the Gaza Strip. Without fuel, we will fail the people of Gaza whose needs are growing by the hour, under our watch. This cannot and should not happen.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI call on all parties and those with influence over them to <\/span>immediately allow fuel supplies into the Gaza Strip and to ensure that fuel is strictly used to prevent a collapse of the humanitarian response.<\/p>\n \u201cUNRWA is currently hosting more than half a million people <\/span>out of nearly 1 million displaced across the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n \u201cI welcome yesterday\u2019s convoy into Gaza, the first in two weeks of a very tight siege <\/span>impacting 2 million people. It is, however, far from enough. To be meaningful, Gaza needs an uninterrupted and scaled up humanitarian supply line.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 22 October 2023 No fuel delivered on the first humanitarian convoy STATEMENT FROM UNRWA Commissioner-General\u00a0 PHILIPPE LAZZARINI AMMAN – \u201cIn three days, UNRWA will run out of fuel, critical for our humanitarian response across the Gaza Strip. \u201cWithout fuel, there will be no water, no functioning hospitals and bakeries.
