UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the survival of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip is at stake if fuel is not allowed into the strip.
"I am appalled by the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza", he said in a post on X.
"The last lifelines for survival are being cut off. Without an urgent influx of fuel, incubators will shut down, ambulances will be unable to reach the injured and sick, and water cannot be purified.
"The UN has a clear and proven plan, rooted in the humanitarian principles, to get vital assistance to civilians – safely and at scale, wherever they are. I renew my call for an immediate permanent ceasefire and for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages."
