Israel Allow Sends of Power Plant Fuel to Gaza
Gaza, MINA – Israel will allow send of Power Plant Fuel to needs in the Gaza Strip.

Israel tightened restrictions in May during 11-day conflict with Hamas, the Islamist group that controls the Gaza Strip, leaving Gaza shortage of needed supplies, with electricity being restricted for several hours a day.
Last week, Israel renewed post services to the region and allow some exports of agricultural products and clothing.
