World Health Organisation chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has urged Israel to allow fuel to be taken into the Gaza Strip, alongside the first deliveries of water, food and medicine.

“We welcome Israel’s announcement yesterday that it will not block the entry of water, food and medicines into Gaza from Egypt. Fuel is also needed for hospital generators, ambulances and desalination plants — and we urge Israel to add fuel to the life-saving supplies allowed to enter Gaza,” he said in a press conference.
