Hamas civil defense agency says 75% of emergency vehicles can’t operate due to lack of fuel
Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defense agency says that a lack of fuel had forced three-quarters of its emergency vehicles to stop operating, more than two months into an Israeli aid blockade.
“Seventy-five percent of our vehicles have stopped operating due to a lack of diesel fuel,” the agency’s spokesman Mahmud Bassal tells AFP, adding that its first responders were also facing a “severe shortage of electric generators and oxygen devices.”
