Shehab Wire reported that closure of a border crossing has prevented the entry of cooking gas into Gaza Strip. The blockade cuts off supplies of the fuel essential for cooking and heating in households across the densely populated enclave, where residents rely heavily on imported goods for basic necessities.
The crossing remains closed as of the time of reporting. Officials have not announced when the restriction will be lifted or provided estimates of how long supplies can sustain the population without new shipments arriving across the border.
