Fuel shortage shuts Gaza petrol stations
2007-12-03
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.

#4  Yeah, Mike. But judging by the price of 16 cents I'd guess the picture was taken before Hugo Chavez was even born.

#3  ...Funny that the gas station in the pic is an old Cities Service station - which is now known as Citgo, owned lock stock and barrel by Venezuela.

#2  I dunno. Since car swarm is done on a NON moving car, I'd think fuel shortage is not an issue... as long as Israel is here to provide the hellfire, a pre-requesite for any car swarm (or at least, a good, family-oriented one).

#1  Does this mean no more car swarms?
