Gaza's transport system faces accelerating collapse as Israeli authorities continue blocking imports of spare parts, engine oils, tires, and maintenance supplies, the Gaza Center for Human Rights warned. The restrictions have created critical shortages affecting vehicles essential for moving goods and people across the territory. The center characterized the import ban as deliberate policy threatening basic infrastructure operations.
Without access to replacement components and maintenance materials, transport operators struggle to keep vehicles functioning. The blockade affects ambulances, commercial trucks, and public transit systems that residents depend on for daily movement and economic activity. Officials say the shortage compounds existing humanitarian challenges facing the civilian population in Gaza.
