JERUSALEM (AFP) — The UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees is to suspend its food aid distribution in Gaza on Monday because of a lack of fuel caused by the Israeli blockade, a spokesman said on Sunday.
"We have exhausted our stocks of fuel, and are therefore forced to stop our food distributions to 1.5 million inhabitants in the Gaza Strip," UNWRA spokesman Chris Gunness said.
"It's the second time in a week," he added. "In the long term, the humanitarian situation is terrible."
Gunness later specified that the suspension would take effect from late Monday when supplies were expected to have dried up completely, rather than from the morning as stated earlier.
