US seeks entry of more fuel into Gaza
Jerusalem, Undefined – AFP
The United States has said it is pushing Israel to let more fuel into the Gaza Strip.
Fuel, which powers generators for electricity, and other humanitarian aid had entered the besieged Palestinian territory during the suspension of Israel’s attacks on Gaza.
“We had some very frank conversations with them about the need for fuel to come in and saw some fuel going in Friday” followed by more on Saturday, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.
– Israel ‘not trying to displace’ Gazans –
Military spokesman Jonathan Conricus said on Monday that Israel was “not trying to displace anyone, we are not trying to move anybody from anywhere permanently.”
Many Palestinians fear a repeat of the displacement of more than 760,000 of their people that took place during the war that led to Israel’s creation 75 years ago.
“We have provided a designated humanitarian zone inside the Gaza Strip,” Conricus said, referring to a tiny coastal area named Al-Mawasi.
