Ministry of transport: Contacts underway with Egypt to solve the fuel crisis

The Palestinian ministry of transport in Gaza said that there are contacts underway with the Egyptian general petroleum company to resolve the fuel crisis, which rendered thousands of cars out of service. The government is trying to get fuel shipments for the transportation sector, which is considered the backbone of life and sustain thousands of Gazan families. He affirmed that the fuel crisis seriously affected the economic and humanitarian situation in Gaza. The fuel crisis aggravated after the Egyptian authorities closed the Rafah border crossing and destroyed most of the border tunnels, which paralyzed the life in Gaza and caused thousands of cars and public vehicles to stop working. The crisis also forced some drivers of public buses and vehicles to use a kind of cooking oil to operate them.
