GAZA, Feb 19 (KUNA) -- The Palestinian Authority rejected an Israeli offer
to supply Gaza with fuel to operate the Strip's sole power station, Israel
claimed on Sunday.
"The Palestinian Authority will be responsible for any humanitarian crises
resulted from its refusal of the Israeli offer," the Israeli radio quoted
sources at the premiership as saying.
The sources expressed "concern that fuel used to operate power generators
will run out soon namely in hospitals."
Energy authorities in Gaza were forced to use solar smuggled through
tunnels with Egypt during the past months.
The power station in Gaza stopped operation last Tuesday because of lack of
fuel. (end)
