Aid workers are taking extraordinary risks every day to keep humanitarian operations and life-sustaining services afloat without the risk of harm.<\/p>\n
Fuel must be allowed into Gaza consistently, its delivery facilitated safely and without interruption to keep humanitarian operations and essential services \u2013 hospitals, water and sewage systems and bakeries \u2013 running.<\/p>\n
In the West Bank, increased closure of Israeli checkpoints and road gates since the regional escalation began continues to restrict people\u2019s access to services and workplaces. Emergency services and humanitarian work are also affected.<\/p>\n
