(MENAFN) Egypt started to deliver a million liters of fuel to Gaza, easing a crisis that has left the Palestinian enclave"s 2mn residents with only a few hours of elect per day.
Additionally, the deliveries come two days after Israel started cutting the elect it supplies to Gaza, trailing Palestinian president decision to stop paying for it amid a dispute with Hamas.
Meanwhile, the fuel will go to Gaza's sole power plant, which has been closed since April due to shortages and will offer enough power for a few days.
Furthermore, Israel has been supplying 120MW of elect to Gaza a month, making up almost a quarter of the territory"s needs, with the Palestinian Authority paying USD12.65mn monthly bill.
