Aid groups urge Israel to ease Gaza blockade

Gaza hospitals will run out of drugs and fuel for generators within a few days unless Israel eases the border blockade it imposed to curb Palestinian rocket attacks, international organisations say.

Residents of the Hamas-controlled territory awoke to nearly traffic-free streets and shuttered shops, with petrol in short supply due to Israeli restrictions and Gaza’s main power plant shut down since late on Sunday.

Palestinian officials have warned the stand-off could harm US-spurred efforts with Israel to reach a peace deal this year.

“There is no fuel, meaning there is no work,” said Abu Mahmoud, a fisherman. “We have seen bad times before, but never worse than these days.” (via Aid groups urge Israel to ease Gaza blockade - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation))
