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 agency, known as UNRWA, posted its warning on social media on Tuesday. The Israel Defense Forces reposted it and said that Hamas militants have more than 500,000 litres of fuel in tanks inside besieged Gaza.

“Ask Hamas if you can have some,” the IDF wrote.

    The tunnels are Hamas-controlled and supplying Hamas isn’t exactly the goal of the UN.

    I meant basic supplies for civilians. Obviously UN won’t supply Hammas but Hammas says they are the just guys so they could open the tunnel or two for UN.

    You’d have to shoot your way through the Israeli navy.

    I meant basic supplies for civilians which could go under UN flag. I admit that mentioning Iran etc was missleading into military support. But for offIcial UN mission, I somehow doubt that US, Nato or even Israeli navy would sink aNY ship that has blue helmets on the board on humanitarian mission.
