A petrol organization of the Hamas-run finance ministry on Saturday blamed the acting Palestinian government led by Salam Fayyad on fuel shortages in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
The Ramallah-based Fayyad government doesn't pay for Israeli Dor Company which delivers the fuel to Gaza while it pays for Baz Company which provides the West Bank with fuel, the organization said in a statement.
As a result, fuel deliveries to the Gaza Strip have been reduced "in an unpredicted way especially after the Israeli army threats" to do so in response to the continuation of rocket attacks against Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip.
According to the Hamas-dominated petrol organization, instead of allowing 350,000 liters of diesel into Gaza daily, Israel has only allowed 90 liters to make their way to the impoverished strip in addition to 20,000 liters of Gasoline instead of 40,000 liters.
The Gaza petrol companies pay for the government in Ramallah which doesn't continue the paying process to the Israeli side, said the organization.
