Ok, so does that make dropping close to the equivalent of half an atomic bomb on the population living there? Does this mean we shouldn’t support the only cancer hospital having fuel? Would we stand by if Russia did this to Kiev?

That also makes no sense. What are the countr8es that aid Palestine supposed to do? Keep sending fuel until a terrorist organization has its fill?

U.N. officials warned that aid groups, water treatment plants and bakeries in the enclave are running dangerously low on fuel.

Cutting off your enemy's fuel and supply lines is a legitimate tactic that is used in just about every conflict. The UN is a terrorist supporting joke.

Is it a legitimate tactic when it's your own people?

Sorry for the confusion, I should have quoted the full paragraph from the article, and more clearly specified that I was referring to Israels banning of fuel deliveries.

The statements come as President Joe Biden called for a humanitarian pause in Gaza and U.N. officials warned that aid agencies, water treatment plants and bakeries there may soon run out of fuel. Israel, which has allowed a limited number of trucks carrying food, water and medicine into the enclave, continues to ban deliveries of fuel, which it says Hamas will use for military purposes.
