The UN is calling "red alert" for the crisis they believe will occur in Gaza within 3 days time due to the lack of fuel and water - Israeli warplanes have destroyed critical infrastructure supplying electricity and water a day or so ago. According to the Palestinians, the damage is extensive enough that restoring services may take 6 months.
An estimated 130 Gaza wells require electricity to pump water, and while some have backup pumps that run on diesel fuel, Israel has allowed no fuel to flow into Gaza for four days, leaving it dependent on emergency supplies expected to last another three days.
