Hamdallah noted an agreement on the fuel supply would be signed in coming days.

Meanwhile, Qatar’s government also said it would provide $12 million to relieve the electricity crisis.

Gaza has been running generators in hospitals for a decade now. These generators, in any other country, would be used in case of emergency for a day … not for years,” said journalist and author Mohammed Omer. (T/RS05/RS01)
