This is the best summary I could come up with:
UNITED NATIONS, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Israel’s military suggested on Tuesday that the United Nations ask Hamas for fuel supplies after the U.N. agency providing aid to Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip warned it would have to halt operations on Wednesday night if no fuel was delivered.
The Israel Defense Forces reposted it and said that Hamas militants have more than 500,000 litres of fuel in tanks inside besieged Gaza.
It has become the focus of efforts to deliver aid since Israel imposed a “total siege” of the enclave in retaliation for an attack by Hamas militants on Oct. 7.
The United States is leading negotiations with Israel, Egypt and the U.N. to try and create a sustained delivery mechanism for aid to Gaza.
Senior U.N. aid official Lynn Hastings told the U.N. Security Council earlier on Tuesday that the United Nations has 400,000 litres on trucks in Egypt ready to go and that it would provide fuel for around 2-1/2 days.
Hastings told the Security Council that no fuel “means no hospitals functioning, no desalination of water and no baking.”
