In the shadow of conflict, the smell of smoke fills the air across Gaza—not from explosives, but from makeshift fires where families cook meals as fuel supplies vanish. 🍳 A third convoy of humanitarian aid trucks arrived Monday with water, food, and medicine, but no fuel, leaving residents to rely on firewood and desperation. The UN warns remaining fuel reserves could dry up within 48 hours, crippling hospitals, water systems, and daily life.
CGTN footage shows long lines at gas stations and crowds huddled around outdoor fires, ‘like scenes from another century’, one local remarked. With electricity scarce, even simple acts like boiling water become survival challenges. 🔥
‘We’re burning old doors, furniture—anything to feed our children,’ a Gaza resident told reporters. Meanwhile, aid groups urge urgent fuel deliveries to keep life-saving infrastructure running. 💧🚑
As the sun sets earlier this winter, the glow of cooking fires illuminates both resilience and a race against time. 🌍💔 Stay tuned for updates.
