GAZA CITY (AFP) — Petrol stations closed across the Gaza Strip on Sunday as Israel continued to restrict the limited quantities of fuel being delivered to the Hamas-run Palestinian territory.
"Sorry, no fuel, no benzine, no petrol" read a typical sign posted outside one Gaza City filling 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.
The head of emergency services in Gaza, Muawiya Hassanin, warned that "there will be a big problem with hospital generators and ambulances" if the cuts continue.
