Fuel imports from Israel to Gaza will begin Wednesday following an agreement between the Fatah and Hamas, Ma'an news agency said Tuesday.

Gaza's power authority has transferred 2 million shekels ($537,000) to the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority to pay for the fuel, said Taher al-Nunu, a spokesman for the Hamas-led government in Gaza.

Ma'an reported that starting Wednesday, 500,000 liters of fuel will be transferred daily to Gaza's power plant via the Kerem Shalom crossing on Israel's border, al-Nunu said.
