Reserves are gone. The last drops are being rationed to keep bare-minimum services alive. No fuel means no water, no food distribution, no health care, no telecoms — 2.1 million lives on the brink. This is no longer a logistical issue — it is life or death.</p> <p>He said that NRC water trucks have dropped from 64 to 33 sites, reaching only 85,000 people with 4.5 litres per person per day — barely enough to drink, abd far below the 15-litre survival standard.</p> <p>He said that half the sites depend on municipal water utility, which has just 10 days of fue left, and after that, their water stops completely.</p> <p>"Time is up," he added. "Donor states and diplomats must press Israel to allow immediate fuel. Fuel is not a side issue — it is the backbone of humanitarian aid. Denial will collapse the entire system, with catastrophic consequences for civilians. All man-made."</p> </div> </div> </article> https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/gaza-has-run-out-fuelpeoples-lives-are-brink-warns-norwegian-refugee
