UN says it got first fuel into Gaza in 130 days, calls amount inadequate

A United Nations team got about 75,000 liters of fuel into Gaza yesterday, the first such delivery in 130 days, says UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric.

“The amount entered yesterday isn’t sufficient to cover even one day of energy requirements. Fuel is still running out and services will shut down if far greater volumes do not enter immediately,” Dujarric tells reporters.
