Gaza municipality renewed its appeal for humanitarian aid ahead of the start of Ramadan on Sunday evening.
"As Ramadan approaches, Gaza faces a grave humanitarian crisis due to relentless Israeli aggression," a statement issued Sunday said, adding that essential services like water, sanitation and waste management have been "severely affected."
Authorities called on international organizations to assist by providing fuel for basic services, electricity generators for water wells, restarting water supplies from Israel's national water company, Mekorot, and providing heavy machinery for "waste management and infrastructure repair."
Gaza is grappling with a severe humanitarian crisis with a growing number of people dying from starvation and dehydration, aid agencies have warned.
At least 25 people have died so far from malnutrition and dehydration in the Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Health in Gaza said Saturday.
