- Health officials tell us that Israel is blocking the import of medical supplies into Gaza. They told us that a humanitarian convoy from Egypt carrying medical supplies was threatened by an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday - she added.
Avril Benoit from the non-governmental organization Doctors Without Borders warned that some medical facilities only have enough fuel for their generators for four days - CNN portal reported.
Problems with energy supply

On Monday, two days after the terrorist attack by Palestinian Hamas on Israel, the authorities of this country announced a total blockade of Gaza, including the cessation of energy, gas, food, and water supplies.
Even before the war, about 80 percent of the residents of the Gaza Strip were consistently receiving humanitarian aid, including food rations.
"Panic, wherever you look"
The British television has published a recording directly from the Gaza Strip. "Panic, wherever you look" - was written in a social media post.
The film shows the dramatic situation of civilians who got stuck in the Gaza Strip because they had nowhere to flee due to closed borders. After the Israeli bombings, there are many collapsed buildings. The survivors are walking through the rubble and trying to save whatever is left.
