Israel to allow two fuel truck a day into Gaza Strip

After pressure from the U.S., Israel has announced it will
allow two fuel trucks a day to enter the Gaza Strip, the BBC reports.

As a U.S. State Department official said, 140,000 liters of
fuel will be allowed into the Gaza Strip every two days.

“Most of that is intended for trucks delivering aid, as well
as supporting the UN in providing water and sanitation. The rest is for mobile
phone and internet services, which had been cut off due to a lack of fuel,” the
official said.
