The deputy director of the Gaza gasoline station owners' union has charged that Israel is threatening to reduce fuel supplies and electricity again. The High Court last week approved cutbacks so long as enough fuel is provided to prevent a humanitarian crisis. Mahmoud al-Khozendar said that Israel will reduce the supplies this Friday.

He added that the current amounts being delivered are unacceptable. "We, the petrol stations owners, refuse to receive these amounts because they only serve limited sectors and prevent many other sectors from having fuel," al-Khozendar said."
