New York: The United Nations said that the Israeli occupation authorities are still preventing the provision of necessary fuel to humanitarian aid workers, which is hampering the distribution of food supplies in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli authorities still do not allow the provision of necessary fuel to humanitarian relief workers, and therefore food distribution is hampered.

UN spokesman for the UN Secretary-General, Stéphane Dujarric said that dozens of civilians were killed and others wounded in the recent Israeli attacks on Gaza.

Dujarric pointed out that one of the attacks occurred 100 meters from the center where humanitarian aid operations are conducted in Deir al-Balah.

He affirmed that despite this, humanitarian aid operations are continuing.
