...The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs also warned that the lack of fuel would cut off other remaining essential services.
"Without immediate resupply, essential services — including the provision of clean water — will grind to a halt very soon. As we mentioned yesterday, in southern Gaza, diesel supplies needed to operate critical equipment are nearly exhausted," the agency said.
Israel's government and military have previously stated they were monitoring the humanitarian situation in Gaza and have been allowing aid in as needed.
The Israeli government has blamed aid groups coordinated by the United Nations for failures in delivering aid, although the UN says Israeli restrictions and attacks are the main obstacles to collecting and distributing aid.
The Israeli military has denied committing war crimes in Gaza, saying it tries to minimise civilian casualties.
Gazans told the ABC they felt abandoned and feared the focus on the Iran conflict would allow Israel to commit atrocities unnoticed.
"Despite the conflict with Iran, the bombardments here have resumed — more targeting, more killing. Even as they fight with other countries, their war against us has not stopped. It continues without pause," Nabila Shanmar, from Gaza City, told the ABC.

"The times ahead will be devastating, as they plan to forcibly deport all of us. An uprooting of an entire people, with no one to stand beside us or demand that we be spared."
