The general directorate of Gaza’s civil defence has warned of a complete halt to the service and humanitarian interventions it provides to displaced Palestinians in the area that the Israeli military claims is “humanitarian” in the southern Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.

Muhammad al-Mughair, director of supply and equipment of Gaza’s civil defence, says since October 7 last year, international organisations have refused to provide his organisation with fuel “under the pretext of preventing the Israeli occupation”.

Al-Mughair confirmed that Palestinian Civil Defence crews are still providing their humanitarian services throughout the Gaza Strip with the minimum available resources and capabilities.
