CAIRO, Egypt – Iraq has agreed to send 10 million liters of fuel to the Gaza Strip, as a humanitarian crisis mounts in the Palestinian enclave due to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
In a statement, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani says Baghdad has also agreed to receive wounded Palestinians from Gaza and provide them treatment in government and private hospitals.
Authorities in Gaza say at least 33,175 Palestinians have been killed and 75,886 wounded since war erupted with Hamas’s October 7 massacre.
Figures issued by the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza cannot be independently verified, and are believed to include both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza, including from the terror group’s own rocket misfires.
The IDF says it has killed over 13,000 operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
