The Gaza civil defence says it has been left without any vehicles to conduct rescue operations in the Gaza and North Gaza governorates, with the exception of a single firetruck.

In a statement, the organisation said its emergency vehicles have either been destroyed by the Israeli military or unable to be repaired due to a lack of spare parts.

In the other governorates, namely Deir el-Balah, Khan Younis and Rafah, three out of six firetrucks and four out of six ambulances that provided life-saving services to thousands of people have also ceased operations.

The civil defence called on the international community to intervene, pointing out that the suspension of services comes at a time when the Israeli army has intensified its deadly attacks across Gaza and continues to shrink the so-called “humanitarian zone”.
