Gaza residents endure 2km-long queues for cooking gas

The UN humanitarian agency in Palestine (UNOCHA) has said that people are queueing overnight in lines that extend for 2km (1.2 miles) to refill cooking gas canisters, Al Jazeera reports.

The lines were reported outside a filling station in Khan Younis in southern Gaza after Israel allowed aid supplies that included cooking gas to enter the besieged Gaza Strip for the first time since October 7.

But the UN said that the “amounts fall well below the needs” and that people are reportedly “burning doors and window frames to cook”.
