      The rest would be fed to the MRI machine in Al Shifa and the nonexistent command centers.

        Every 2 days, so not enough to meet basic needs.

        The head of Unrwa warned on Thursday that the agency may have to suspend all of its activities due to the lack of fuel. In its latest situation report, the agency said it required “160,000 litres of fuel every day for basic humanitarian operations” - more than double what has been agreed.

        That’s every 2 days, so 70,000L a day average.

        Al Shifa hospital says they need 20,000L a day to cover just the critical units like ICU. That’s just one facility.

        There’s no way that’s enough for the other 2 million people.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Earlier, an Israeli official said the new fuel allowance would be brought in through the Rafah crossing to the civilian population in the southern Gaza Strip via the UN, provided that it does not reach Hamas.

    The Israeli official said the fuel would give “minimal” support to water, sewage and sanitation systems, in order to prevent the outbreak of epidemics that could spread in the area.

    The World Health Organization (WHO) has previously warned of “worrying trends” in the spread of disease in Gaza, where the lack of fuel and Israeli bombardment have severely disrupted the healthcare system and sanitation facilities.

    Fuel is needed in Gaza to run the enclave’s desalination plant, to provide electricity to homes and hospitals, and for sanitation, transport, and communications infrastructure.

    On Saturday in Gaza’s south, the director of Nasser hospital in Khan Younis said it had received the bodies of 26 people, and 23 others with serious injuries, after an air strike on a residential building in Hamad city.

    US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has told Israel to take “urgent” action to “de-escalate tensions in the West Bank, including by confronting rising levels of settler extremist violence”.
