Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said on Sunday that the cabinet agreed to dispatch 10 million liters of fuel to Gaza.
He also said in a statement that Iraq was committed to receive injured Palestinians in public and private hospitals.
The World Health Organization said in March that Gaza has only 10 “minimally functioning” hospitals to serve a population of more than two million, while the organization’s chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated about 9,000 patients require urgent treatment abroad.
UN agencies have repeatedly warned that famine looms over the northern part of Gaza and referred to the crisis as man-made because aid trucks are backed up at the Egypt-Gaza border by long checks from Israeli officials.
