The United Nations warned Wednesday that supplies of aid are at risk of running out in Gaza as Israel blocks deliveries to the enclave.
“Eleven days is already 11 days too long to prevent aid reaching civilians who so badly need it,” said Fletcher.
“The supplies are clearly running out very, very fast,” he said, forcing the UN to ration stocks to make them last longer.
“The fact that we’re not getting fuel in means that incubators are being switched off,” said Fletcher, adding that Gaza will quickly become a huamnitarian crisis again.
Arab foreign ministers met in Qatar on Wednesday with US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff to discuss reconstruction for Gaza, devastated by Israel’s war on Gaza, the Gulf state said.
“The Arab foreign ministers discussed the Gaza reconstruction plan, which was approved during the Arab League Summit held in Cairo on March 4, 2025,” Qatar’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
Foreign ministers from Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organisation were present at the meeting, according to the statement.
