Gas station owners in Gaza refused to accept deliveries of diesel fuel from Israel on Tuesday despite cries of a "humanitarian crisis" due to the lack of fuel. The owners said they were refusing the diesel because it was not accompanied by gasoline for cars.
Most delivery and other trucks in Gaza, Israel and other countries run on diesel fuel. Moreover, the majority of electricity generators used by Arabs in unrecognized villages in the Negev and elsewhere in the Arab world are fueled by diesel as well.
Butane cooking gas was also pumped into Gaza through the Nahal Oz crossing Tuesday morning as well.
