Gaza’s civil defence agency has said that its vehicles have stopped working in the Palestinian territory’s north due to a lack of fuel, warning it could not respond to emergencies, AFP reports.

“All our fire, rescue, and ambulance vehicles have stopped working in Gaza governorate due to the Israeli occupation’s continued refusal to provide the necessary diesel to operate them,” the rescue agency said in a statement.

“Our crews will not be able to respond to citizens’ calls until the Israeli occupation allows humanitarian organisations to bring in the necessary quantities of diesel,” it added.
