The Jpost Ran an article today regarding Gaza’s refusal to accept scheduled Israeli fuel shipments. The Energy conflict emerged when Israel’s High Court of Justice approved a decrease in the Israeli Dor Oil Company’s Diesel and Gasoline supply to the Gaza Strip by fifteen percent. In response, the Gaza Strip gas station owners’ organization has refused to accept any further incomplete fuel shipments from Israel. Representatives of the Organization site the affects that the decrease of fuel will have on Gaza: “the functioning of the hospitals, the water and sewage systems, home medical equipment, refrigeration of food and medicine and other vital systems necessary to safeguard the health of the population.” All of these things require fuel, without which there will be a major humanitarian crisis.
The Article does not site any clear reason for Israel decision to lessen fuel supplies.
