The Israeli army prevented a fuel truck from reaching northern Gaza, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said.
They previously announced that fuel trucks, in addition to 31 humanitarian aid trucks with food, water and humanitarian materials, were being delivered to Gaza City and the northern part of the enclave through the Israeli checkpoint that separates the northern Gaza Strip from the south.
“The fuel truck would enable the operation of Palestinian Red Crescent ambulances operating in the northern Gaza Strip, which were in danger of stopping their work due to the fuel used up,” the statement added.
Qatar has announced that the humanitarian pause in Gaza, which was previously agreed between Hamas and Israel, has been extended for two more days.
The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, Majed Al-Ansari, stated in a statement that as a result of mediation between Hamas and Israel, an agreement was reached to extend the humanitarian pause.
Hamas also confirmed in a statement on its Telegram account that an agreement was reached with Qatar and Egypt to extend the humanitarian break for two more days under the same conditions as the previous agreement.
A four-day humanitarian pause between Hamas and Israel took effect on Friday, November 24, at 07:00 local time.
Under the agreement, 150 Palestinians in Israeli prisons will be released in exchange for 50 Israeli prisoners held by Hamas.
As part of the agreement, 40 Israeli women and children have so far been released from the Gaza Strip, and 117 Palestinians from Israeli prisons.
