Gaza City Faces A Critical Situation

1. In the wake of recent Israeli bombardment, Gaza City faces a critical situation with widespread sewage and rubbish. The situation has escalated as fires break out, engulfing areas in smoke and causing severe distress for residents. Urgent assistance is required to combat these fires, necessitating both water and fuel, which are currently in very short supply.

2. With only 8% of water resources available for the next two days and dwindling fuel supplies, Gaza City is on the verge of a humanitarian crisis. Compounding the issue, Israel's restrictions on fuel transport from the south further exacerbate the fuel shortage.

3. In addition to the urgent challenges posed by the aftermath of Israeli bombardment, the residents of Gaza City now confront the looming threat of disease outbreaks. With sanitation systems compromised, the risk of diseases has surged, heightening concerns among the populace and authorities alike. The critical need for immediate assistance extends beyond addressing immediate infrastructural concerns to include safeguarding public health and preventing the escalation of a potential health crisis.

4. Israeli airstrikes have left a devastating impact, rendering 70 vehicles inoperable and destroying the main municipal workshop. This destruction not only impedes immediate relief efforts but also hinders future repairs due to the workshop's dysfunctional state and power outage.

5. The Municipality of Gaza is teetering on the edge, facing unprecedented challenges that demand swift and comprehensive international intervention.

6. The Municipality of Gaza implores the international community to act swiftly in providing essential aid to mitigate the dual challenges of infrastructure damage and emerging health threats.
