Israeli attacks have killed over 98 Palestinians in Gaza on Saturday, amid indirect ceasefire talks between Hamas and Tel Aviv. Gaza hospitals say at least 38 were seeking aid.
The United Nations warned Saturday that dire fuel shortages in the Gaza Strip had reached "critical levels", threatening to further increase the suffering in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory.
Seven UN agencies said in a joint statement that "fuel is the backbone of survival in Gaza".
Fuel was needed to "power hospitals, water systems, sanitation networks, ambulances, and every aspect of humanitarian operations", they said, highlighting that bakeries also needed fuel to operate.
Ceasefire discussions are currently being held up by Israel's insistence on keeping an occupying force in the territory, two Palestinian sources with knowledge of the discussions told AFP on Saturday.
One Palestinian source said Israel's refusal to withdraw all of its troops from Gaza was holding back progress on securing a deal.
