Gaza Petroleum Authority: Adopting a new standards mechanism to distribute gas quotas according to family size in response to citizens' demands
In an effort to entrench the principles of fairness and equality in the distribution of available resources, the Petroleum Authority in the Gaza Strip announces the adoption of a new mechanism for distributing cooking gas quotas to citizens registered in the electronic system, by linking the family’s entitled quota to the number of its officially registered members. The new approved formula will take effect starting from the twelfth cycle, according to the following classification: One person: 6 kilograms. From 2 to 4 people: 8 kilograms. From 5 to 7 people: 10 kilograms. From 8 people and above: 12 kilograms. Official approved pricing: 6-kilogram quota: 56 shekels 8-kilogram quota: 74 shekels 10-kilogram quota: 93 shekels 12-kilogram quota: 110 shekels Cycle duration: Restructuring the distribution quotas may result in a slight time extension for the duration of one cycle, not exceeding one week for the entire cycle. Impact of the mechanism: Estimates indicate that about 45% of those registered will see their entitled quotas increase, while the majority will retain their previous quota (8 kg), and a very small percentage will be affected by a reduction in the quota, achieving the required balance. Data linkage and updating: The number of family members was calculated based on direct electronic linkage with the civil status database, and any changes to the number of family members during the same cycle will be adopted in the records of the subsequent cycle. Citizens' role: Some citizens may notice an exceptional and one-time change in the order of their turns within the approved lists, due to the start of filling the larger quotas (12 kg) first for technical and logistical sorting considerations.

Medical Referrals Committee at the Ministry of Health in Gaza: The time needed to evacuate the current list of patients and wounded people (about 21,000 patients) through the currently approved travel mechanism is a full four years
Medical Referrals Committee at the Ministry of Health in Gaza: ▪ The time needed to evacuate the current list of patients and wounded people (about 21,000 patients) through the currently approved travel mechanism is a full four years, without counting any additional medical cases! ▪ Based on the continued approval of new medical referrals each month, travel will take four additional years to address the newly accumulated cases. ▪ According to the overall estimate, the total travel time for patients extends to a full eight years; this represents a direct and slow death sentence for thousands of patients whose bodies cannot endure waiting for days or weeks, let alone eight years! ▪ These figures are not just dry statistics, but a loud cry for help for more than 21,000 people who are daily deprived of their basic right to treatment and life. ▪ The Ministry of Health holds the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the lives of these patients and wounded people, and calls urgently on the international community, the United Nations, and all humanitarian and human rights institutions to intervene immediately and exert serious pressure to open the crossings fully and sustainably, and to facilitate the خروج of patients and wounded people without restriction or condition before it is too late.
