🚙 Six-Hour Gas Lines, Empty Tanks: Gaza's Desperate Struggle
In Gaza, scenes of chaos unfold daily as residents queue for six hours or longer at gas stations, only to leave empty-handed. 'I’ve waited four days straight – not a single liter,' one resident told CGTN, echoing the desperation of thousands. 🚨
Despite a fourth humanitarian aid convoy entering Gaza via Egypt’s Rafah crossing this week, only 62 trucks have delivered supplies since Israel’s 'total siege' began. The UN warns this falls far short of the 100 trucks per day needed to sustain basic services.
💔 Hospitals, bakeries, and water plants are grinding to a halt as fuel remains excluded from aid shipments. Without it, Gaza’s 2.3 million residents face a cascading crisis: no clean water, bread, or functioning medical equipment.
'This isn’t just a shortage – it’s life or death,' said a local volunteer. As global calls for urgent action grow, the world watches to see if aid corridors can scale up before it’s too late. 🌍
