In Gaza, people have to queue for bread at the few bakeries continuing to work after Israel cut-off fuel supplies on Sunday night.

Israel says it interrupted supplies in response to the ongoing rocket attacks launched from Gaza at its territories by Palestinian militants. Meanwhile, officials in Gaza are warning of a possible humanitarian crisis, as essential services are affected, such as hospitals, lighting and food preparation.
