This matters because malnutrition, damaged water and sanitation infrastructure, and low vaccination coverage increase the risk of disease outbreaks and famine in a region already affected by prolonged conflict.

A joint assessment by humanitarian partners and local authorities found 38% of children under five in El Fashar suffer acute malnutrition, including 11% with severe acute malnutrition, the spokesperson said. Humanitarian partners reported last week more than 300 suspected cholera cases and over two dozen deaths in South Darfur alone; so far this year local authorities have reported more than 32,000 suspected cholera cases across Sudan. The U.N. 2025 humanitarian response plan for Sudan is seeking $4.2 billion to help about 21 million people; the plan is 21% funded, with approximately $896 million in the bank to date.

The remarks matter because attacks on or near nuclear facilities increase risks to civilian populations and critical infrastructure and heighten international concern about escalation.

U.N. officials reported that authorities said 30 civilians were killed and another 175 injured following strikes across Kharkiv, Kyiv, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia as well as frontline locations; at least seven children were among the casualties. The spokesperson reiterated that attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure are prohibited under international law and demanded they stop immediately. The secretary‑general reiterated his call for a full, immediate and unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine as a first step toward a negotiated peace consistent with the U.N. Charter and relevant U.N. resolutions.

Ending: The U.N. called for an immediate halt to attacks on civilians and urged parties to respect international humanitarian law while humanitarian partners continue to assist the wounded and displaced.","The U.N. said recent drone and missile strikes disrupted power at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and killed dozens of civilians in several Ukrainian cities, urging an immediate ceasefire.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":56,"_72":56,"_73":56},6552021,"U.N. warns Gaza faces imminent fuel blackout as food access collapses",163,313000,476000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5233272-dd7ca820af764180ea9f4872aaa1ef1c&start=313&end=476","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5233272-dd7ca820af764180ea9f4872aaa1ef1c/thumbnail_313000.jpg","/articles/6552021/UN-warns-Gaza-faces-imminent-fuel-blackout-as-food-access-collapses","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552021-e2ce66e98f3742953d7a7ff278e16328/orig.mp4?Expires=1770770976&Signature=bGDGGdyz0HBfqndXRsVc~5q5MSdlrexyQZ5wU9y4dSHXz2QjA5~Qlj0uqFG5xiO4teP~hAi5uysZXU77UafjzQ5d6~V7KP0Z2Ak3-XYt6P8D8XUolqo-3sKskC65YCI0a09SYoMgJ-qMJRx0ooWvIev0qFnwO8l7UCAL9KbeWiLG-WAfYY-L0yPLpF5-sNZWfWNKbXcf4MDD7wun1J6tOUc3uVnrEqqrf4m7332dGheEuJbTEYLuDuM2LEdimsh0y-PKvj-dESmcJMccM31CrHboHz4F6HMcsc37OT0w5qWgIYy2Qqz-W2pKp-~nyFLkslGIgf2z2Fzm4ZqHvH49gw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The United Nations spokesperson said at a press briefing that fuel shortages in the Gaza Strip are approaching a critical point and could cause an imminent internet blackout, while hospitals and ambulances are already rationing supplies.

The issue matters because fuel is required to run hospital generators, ambulances, water systems and telecommunications; without it life‑saving services will fail and humanitarian distributions cannot reach people in need.

At the briefing U.N. officials said partners report hospitals are overwhelmed by surges in patients seeking aid. A recent assessment by the World Food Programme (WFP) found nearly one in three people in Gaza had not eaten for days, increasing the risk of starvation; WFP deputy executive director Carl Skau, after visiting Gaza City, described the situation as \"the worst he's ever seen,\" with people \"dying just trying to get food.\" The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned hospitals are running out of fuel and that lifesaving operations cannot be sustained much longer.

OCHA and U.N. speakers urged Israeli authorities to allow fuel and unimpeded humanitarian access across Gaza, including to the north. The spokesperson said Israeli authorities had, for the fourth straight month, not allowed fuel into Gaza and that nearly all remaining U.N. fuel supplies have been reserved for life‑saving services. The spokesperson added that operations to collect fuel from depots often require coordination with Israeli authorities, which remains challenging.

U.N. agencies also reported continuing displacement: a recent displacement order for parts of Khan Yunis could affect more than 50,000 people, and the U.N. reminded audiences that since the end of the ceasefire in March more than 700,000 people have been displaced in Gaza — many more than once — with overcrowding particularly acute in coastal areas. The U.N. Population Fund said women report rising depression, nightmares and anxiety amid food scarcity and malnutrition.

Ending: U.N. officials called for immediate, unimpeded humanitarian access and urged that fuel be allowed into Gaza without delay to prevent further collapse of essential services.","U.N. officials said fuel shortfalls are forcing hospitals to ration care and humanitarian deliveries are being blocked, while the World Food Programme reports nearly one in three people in Gaza have not eaten for days.","actionData","errors"]
