Israel on Monday blocked fuel shipments for the Gaza power station, said Raed Fattouh, Head of the Coordination Committee for entry of goods in the Gaza Strip.
This move by Israel comes when the airstrikes have extensively damaged the region’s infrastructure.
On Monday, local media reported that the Israeli authorities had given the green light for a shipment of Qatari-bought fuel to Gaza, which is experiencing major electricity shortages amid the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“Israeli authorities today refused permission to transport fuel for the power plant in the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom checkpoint,” Fattouh told Sputnik.
