U.N. officials warned that aid groups, water treatment plants and bakeries in the enclave are running dangerously low on fuel.

Cutting off your enemy's fuel and supply lines is a legitimate tactic that is used in just about every conflict. The UN is a terrorist supporting joke.

Is it a legitimate tactic when it's your own people?

Sorry for the confusion, I should have quoted the full paragraph from the article, and more clearly specified that I was referring to Israels banning of fuel deliveries.

The statements come as President Joe Biden called for a humanitarian pause in Gaza and U.N. officials warned that aid agencies, water treatment plants and bakeries there may soon run out of fuel. Israel, which has allowed a limited number of trucks carrying food, water and medicine into the enclave, continues to ban deliveries of fuel, which it says Hamas will use for military purposes.
