Israel has declined to provide fuel to hospitals located in northern Gaza, as reported by the United Nations, which indicated that such requests have been denied on five separate occasions over the past week.

During a press briefing, United Nations Secretary-General spokesman Stephane Dujarric highlighted that certain hospitals in northern Gaza have not received any new fuel supplies for over ten days.

He also noted the significant influx of refugees in southern Gaza, a situation exacerbated by ongoing Israeli evacuation directives.

In a related matter, Dujarric mentioned that efforts are underway to recruit and train over 1,000 health workers and volunteers across 11 health centers in the area to facilitate polio vaccinations.

The objective of the initial phase of this vaccination campaign is to immunize at least 95% of the more than 640,000 children under the age of ten residing in Gaza.
