Gaza rescuers say no fuel left for 75 percent of their vehicles

Gaza’s civil defense agency said Thursday that a lack of fuel had forced three-quarters of its emergency vehicles to stop operating, more than two months into an Israeli aid blockade.

“Seventy-five percent of our vehicles have stopped operating due to a lack of diesel fuel,” the agency’s spokesman Mahmud Bassal said, adding that its first responders were also facing a “severe shortage of electric generators and oxygen devices.”
