CAIRO (Ma'an) -- The Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation has received instructions from President Mursi to provide Gaza with fuel for its sole power station, Al-Watan newspaper reported Wednesday.
Amro Mustafa, vice president of EGPC, made the comments to Al-Watan during an interview with the Egyptian newspaper.
The Egyptian company will provide 30,000 tonnes of fuel to Gaza's sole power station, as well as petroleum donated by Qatar. The fuel will arrive through the Al-Ouja crossing in Egypt's northern Sinai and will then be transported to Gaza via the Kerem Shalom crossing within the next few days.
Gaza had been plagued by a fuel crisis since mid-February, when Egypt cut off supplies via a tunnel network under the border between the countries. more
