Gaza: Israel on Monday allowed the shipment of fuel into Gaza, said gas stations' association chief Mahmoud Khazandar.
Khandar said the resumption of fuel shipment follows a three-week break that caused widespread electricity blackouts after the Gaza power plant ran out of fuel supply.
Israel has sealed off crossings into Gaza in early November following Palestinian rocket fire from the strip at Israeli border towns.
