On the 14th (local time) the UN said Israel's ongoing military operations in the
Gaza Strip continue to cause civilian casualties. Restricted access to engine
lubricants and parts, together with fuel shortages, is placing severe strain on
energy supplies for Gaza's water, desalination and medical services. The UN
Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said military operations
continued over the weekend, particularly west of the temporary ceasefire's
so-called 'yellow line'.
