A UN convoy has reached Gaza City, delivering “critical fuel to help keep essential services like bakeries and health facilities running”, the UN said in a post on X, Al Jazeera reports.

The post went on to say the delivery was “far from enough” and that a “ceasefire and sustained humanitarian access are needed to save lives”.

The UN also shared photographs showing destroyed buildings and piles of waste in the city in the north of the Gaza Strip, which faced intense Israeli bombardment from October last year.

Critical services in Gaza have had to rely on fuel to run generators after Israel cut off all electricity to the Strip in October.
