JAKARTA - WHO warned hospitals in southern Gaza only had 3 days of fuel left.

Hospitals in southern Gaza only have three days of fuel left, "meaning services will stall soon," the World Health Organization (WHO) said on May 8, as reported by CNN.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on X, the closing of the Rafah border "continues to prevent (PBB) from bringing fuel. Without fuel all humanitarian operations will be stopped. The border closure also hampered the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza."

The head of the WHO said humanitarian operations required expansion, Rafah's military operations increasingly limited our ability to reach thousands of people living in dire conditions without food, sanitation, adequate health and security services. This must stop now.

The Israeli military controlled the Rafah crossing on the Gaza side, an Israeli military official said on Tuesday, May 7. Videos from the Israeli Defense Forces show the Israeli flag flying on the Palestinian crossing side.

This is the only crossing between Gaza and Egypt and an important entrance to humanitarian aid to the trapped Palestinian enclave.
