Israel said that the goal of suspension, which refers to the import of food, medications and fuels, to put pressure on the militant group of Hamas in the fire break negotiations.
UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees of UNRWA warned that the decision on the abortion of humanitarian aid threatens the lives of civilians exhausted in the 17 months of the “Brutal” War and that most of 2.3 million people in Gaza depend on that assistance.
Hamas describes this measure as “collective punishment” and insists that it cannot be made to concessions.
Abdel-Nasser al-Aires, Bakelica heads of bakery in Gaza, told Reuters that six out of a total of 22 bakers were already closed because they have no more gas.
“The remaining bakeries could close for a week or two, if they run out of diesel or flour, unless the transition is rebuilt to enable the flow of goods,” he said.
Israel blocked the entry of goods on the territory last week, and that move led to the price increase of basic foods, as well as fuel, which is why many were forced to reduce their meals.
In the latest Israeli, the Energy Minister Eli Cohen said on Sunday that he ordered the Israeli electricity corporation (IEC) not to sell electricity Gazi, which described as a way of pressing Hamas to free the hostage.
Mohammad Thabet, spokesman of the energy distribution plant in Gaza, said for Reuters that this decision would deny clean water in those areas.
“The decision is catastrophic, the municipality will now be obliged to release the sewerage water into the sea, which can result in environmental and health risks that transcend Gaza borders,” Thabet said.
Stocks of assistance distributed by the Palestin Red Crescent are less smaller, the international federation of the Companies of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent (IFRC) warned.
“It’s hard to find basic foods like eggs and chicken, the prices jumped and are unavailable most people in Gaza,” said IFRC spokesman Tommaso Della Long.
Fighting in Gaza was stopped by a truce that lasts from 19. January, and Hamas exchanged 33 Israeli hostages and five Thai for about 2000 Palestinian prisoners.
However, the initial 42-day stage of the truce has expired, and Hamas and Israel remain far from arrangement on postwar management of the gauze and the future of Hamas itself.
