Photos of Desperate Palestinians Reaching for Food in Gaza as Experts Warn of Famine
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 12 – UN agencies warn Gaza's fuel shortage endangers hospitals, water, and aid, with only 75,000 liters allowed recently—far below daily needs for 2.3 million residents.
- On July 12, 2025, the United Nations issued a severe alert highlighting that Gaza is facing an urgent fuel crisis, endangering humanitarian efforts and putting the well-being of more than 2.1 million residents at serious risk.
- These fuel shortages began following the war that erupted after Hamas's attack in October 2023 and have been worsened by a prolonged blockade limiting fuel imports.
- UN agencies reported that the limited 75,000 litres of fuel brought in this week was only a small fraction of daily needs, and water, sanitation, and food production systems are shutting down.
- The UN and seven agencies emphasized that continuous fuel supply is essential for sustaining life in Gaza, as it is critical for the operation of bakeries, healthcare facilities, and other vital services.
- Without adequate fuel, humanitarian efforts risk total collapse, exposing vulnerable populations to deadly disease outbreaks and worsening famine, requiring immediate consistent fuel delivery.
