EL-ARISH, Egypt (Ma'an) -- Egyptian authorities have delayed fuel deliveries to the Gaza Strip until Tuesday, Egyptian sources said.
Fuel donated by Qatar was scheduled to be pumped in limited quantities to Gaza on Sunday, a Gaza official said this week.
Egyptian authorities told Ma'an's correspondent that the delivery will be postponed until Tuesday, in order to put in place stricter security procedures to transfer the fuel from Suez Port across the Sinai to the Al-Auja crossing.
Around 450,000 liters of diesel donated by Qatar, to be transported in eight tankers, will be delivered to Gaza, Egyptian sources added. more
