Israel's war cabinet has agreed to allow 140,000 liters of fuel into Gaza every two days following a request from Washington, amid acute shortages that have threatened aid shipments and communications in the besieged strip, US officials said on Friday.
Earlier, Israel said it had agreed to allow two fuel tankers a day into the territory. Aid agencies have been lobbying for more fuel to enter Gaza so they can deliver humanitarian supplies.
A US State Department official has said Israel has pledged to allow 120,000 liters of fuel every 48 hours for the UN's Palestinian aid agency to fuel its trucks and run other essential services.
The agreement also stipulates that another 20,000 liters will be allowed to supply telecom companies to prevent further disruptions.
Reuters news agency says Gaza's main telecommunications companies, Paltel and Jawwal, said on Friday that their telecommunications had now been partially restored after the delivery of a limited amount of fuel.
Earlier, AFP reported that 17,000 liters had been allowed into Gaza, the first shipment since Israel's war cabinet said it would allow regular deliveries./BBC
