Petrol stations shut across the Gaza Strip on Sunday as Israel continued to provide only restricted quantities of fuel to the Hamas-run territory, industry officials and witnesses said. “Sorry, no fuel, no benzene, no petrol,” read a typical sign posted at a Gaza City petrol station. “All stations in Gaza have been shut down because there is no fuel of any kind,” Mahmud al-Khuzudnar, a deputy chief of a Gaza association for petrol stations, told AFP. Israel, which provides Gaza with all its fuel, has delivered only restricted supplies since October 28 and Khuzudnar said that the association was not releasing for sale the quantities received on Sunday in protest of the cuts. Khuzudnar said that 60,000 litres of diesel came via Israel on Sunday instead of the 350,000 litres that are needed on a daily basis. |
