Israel claims Palestinian Authority refuses offer to supply Gaza with fuel

KUNA

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.
