Israeli authorities on Sunday canceled a cut in fuel for the operation of the Gaza Strip´s only power plant, after a week of cuts due to field tensions.
A source in the Presidential Committee for the introduction of goods to Gaza, told Xinhua, that today will be pumped 600 to 700 thousand liters of industrial fuel for the operation of the Gaza power plant.
The State of Qatar announced last November, donated $ 60 million to buy fuel for the power plant in Gaza for six months, at $ 10 million per month, and then decided to extend its support until the end of this year. But Israeli media reported Sunday that Qatar had told Israel it was cutting back on funding for fuel supplied to the Gaza power plant. Qatar will finance only half of the amount it has been working on for several months and was set to continue until the end of the year.
The move by Qatar comes without prior coordination with Israel, the Palestinians and even the United Nations, which co-sponsors the stabilization of understandings of calm. According to the Israeli media.
The Electricity Distribution Company in the Gaza Strip said that following the reduction of fuel quantities last Wednesday, "the company started work on a schedule of 8 hours arrived for 8 pieces with a deficit rate of between two and a half to three hours, after the extinguishing of the generator out of three In the only power plant in Gaza.
