Yahya Al-Sarraj, the mayor of Gaza City, has warned that the continued Israeli aggression and the fuel shortage crisis poses a challenge to providing basic services to citizens, Al Jazeera reports.

“We call on the international community to intervene urgently and provide fuel, electricity generators, and equipment to provide services,” Al-Sarraj said in a press conference.

He added that more than 50,000 tonnes of waste have accumulated in the blockaded territory, threatening the spread of dangerous diseases and epidemics.
