UN: Gaza Strip Approaching "Breaking Point" Without Fuel

The spokesperson for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Jens Laerke, stated on Tuesday that "services in the Gaza Strip are approaching a 'breaking point' without fuel supplies," adding that none of the relief trucks that have entered the area, numbering 569 so far, carried fuel. UN humanitarian coordinator Martin Griffiths mentioned that "there has been some progress in negotiations regarding the permission for fuel to enter the Gaza Strip, which is under Israeli blockade," without going into details.
