Gazans Shun Israeli Gasoline
(Al-Monitor) Asmaa al-Ghoul - Cars have been queuing for days in front of a gas station in downtown Gaza City that sells cheap Egyptian gasoline. Not far away, a station that sells Israeli gas, which continues to flow into Gaza, has no lines. Station owner Amjad al-Achkar explained that Egyptian gas became scarce around a month ago. A liter of Israeli gas costs six shekels ($1.64), while Egyptian gas [subsidized by the Egyptian government] costs four shekels ($1.09).
