The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Gaza Strip announced that its relief services to about 700,000 displaced Palestinians will stop during the next 48 hours, due to the Israeli occupation cutting the flow of fuel into the enclave for the 38th consecutive day, SPA reported.

UNRWA reported that the humanitarian, living, and health conditions are catastrophic in its 150 shelter centers, to which hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have fled to seek refuge from the ongoing Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

It also said that most of bakeries in the enclave have stopped working, due to the exhaustion of fuel as well as the depletion of wheat, further exacerbating the suffering of Palestinians.

At least seven people were killed on Tuesday during an Israeli military raid and airstrikes on the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian health ministry said.

Five of the seven people were killed in two separate Israeli attacks in and near the city of Qabatiya, while the two others were killed in the Tammoun area, the ministry said.

The Israeli military said its aircraft had targeted a group of gunmen and that its forces had arrested 60 fighters.

The Islamic Jihad's armed wing, Al-Quds Brigades, said its fighters had clashed with Israeli forces in both Qabatia and the Tamoun areas.

Violence has surged in the West Bank since the start of the war in Gaza, with almost daily sweeps by Israeli forces that have involved thousands of arrests and regular gunbattles between security forces and Palestinian fighters.
