Non si ferma la polemica sul carburante. O per meglio dire, su quanto carburante entra nella Striscia di Gaza. Ora scende in campo l’Onu, o meglio, le agenzie umanitarie che lavorano nei Territori palestinesi occupati, e fanno un comunicato congiunto per spiegare quale sia la situazione attuale riguardo al rifornimento di carburante da parte di Israele verso Gaza: “Israel ceased supply of all fuel supplies to Gaza following the attack on the Nahal Oz fuel terminal on 9th April. Prior to that 3.8 liters million of diesel fuel and 340,000 liters of benzene were transferred from Israel into Gaza for the month of March. This amount was inadequate to fulfill Gaza’s requirements and compares with over 8.8 million liters of diesel and 1.7 million liters of benzene that was supplied a year previously in March 2007. The Israeli restrictions prompted the Gaza Petrol and Gas Station Owners Association to suspend supply, to protest at the effects of the limitations. As a result, existing stores of diesel and benzene, which are only adequate for two days usage, have not been distributed. “The current situation is a threat to the health and well-being of the population of the Gaza Strip, fifty six per cent of whom are children. The work of the United Nations organizations in Gaza has been severely hampered affecting schools, health facilities, and food distribution”UN organizations call for a cessation of all acts of violence, including attacks such as the one on Nahal Oz, and for the immediate resumption of flow and distribution of fuel supplies sufficient to allow for Palestinians to go about their normal daily lives.”
