Civil defense teams in northern Gaza play a critical role in emergency response—from rescuing people trapped under rubble, to extinguishing fires and evacuating the injured—all within a highly complex humanitarian landscape. Yet these heroic efforts face serious challenges, chief among them the shortage of fuel needed to operate rescue and firefighting vehicles.
A Vital Intervention from Aksa Association
In response to this urgent need, Aksa Association provided emergency diesel fuel to power civil defense vehicles in northern Gaza. This intervention came at a crucial time, as many vehicles were on the verge of shutting down due to fuel shortages—threatening to hinder response capacity during life-threatening emergencies.
A Partnership to Protect Lives
This initiative reflects the association’s commitment to community partnership and safeguarding civilian lives. Civil defense remains the first line of protection against both aggression-related disasters and natural emergencies. The fuel support helped reactivate stalled vehicles, immediately improving field response capacity and operational readiness.
Fueling More Than Just Engines
This support was more than just an operational contribution—it was a morale boost for the civil defense teams who continue working under dangerous and limited conditions. Field personnel expressed their deep gratitude, emphasizing that the donated fuel not only restarted engines but also renewed their determination and sense of duty.
Through this initiative, Aksa Association affirms that public safety in Gaza is a top priority. Supporting emergency infrastructure is an essential part of the association’s humanitarian mission. Aksa will continue its efforts to assist vital institutions that serve as a backbone for protecting lives—especially in these extremely difficult circumstances.
