United Nations speaks of “apocalyptic” consequences of fuel shortage in Gaza
Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths once again warns of the “apocalyptic” consequences of strangling humanitarian aid.
Speaking to AFP during a meeting in Doha with Qatari officials, Martin Griffiths warned of a possible fuel shortage in Gaza.
“If fuel runs out, aid does not reach people where they need it, the famine, which we have talked about for so long, which is approaching, will no longer exist. Will be present. Our concern, as citizens of an international community, is that these consequences will be very, very harsh. Hard, difficult and apocalyptic.”
The invasion of southern Gaza, in Rafah, vehemently criticized by the United Nations and much of the international community, aggravated the humanitarian crisis in the territory.
The United Nations undersecretary explains that around 50 humanitarian aid vans could reach the most affected part, in northern Gaza, but the Clashes near Rafah and Kerem Shalom are “effectively blocking” these main routes.
