Contrary to a report by the Walla news site, Israeli authorities did not allow 75,000 liters of fuel into the Gaza Strip this week.
Walla, without citing sources, claims two tanks with 75,000 liters of fuel entered Gaza on Wednesday.
The Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) denies this, saying that no aid, including fuel, entered Gaza this week. There are no Palestinian reports of the fuel entering the Strip either.
Israel stopped allowing aid into Gaza on March 2 after the first phase of a ceasefire and hostage release deal concluded. It is set to resume aid deliveries in the coming weeks, as part of a US-backed plan that aims to prevent food and supplies from reaching Hamas.
