A 3rd day of candles’ action will be held today evening in the Gaza Strip despite the Israeli agreement to let some fuel into Gaza Strip.

The fuel supplies agreed to get into Gaza strips is very limited and can’t cover the daily needs of people. Ehud Olmert, Israeli premier said today that he will push all Palestinians “to walk on their legs” and this is in reference to Fuel cut that will be ongoing.

Mahmoud Al-Khaznadar, the vice president of the Federation said: "The occupation allocated only 45,000 liters of diesel … for humanitarian purposes to hospitals and UNRWA and so on, except for quantities power station, which received 250,000 liters, except for the receipt of 200 tons of natural gas for ,,,,ing."

Al-Khaznadar said that 45,000 liters of dieselis not enough for civilian life in Gaza Strip.

He said Israeli Prime Minister Olmert's decision to provide just 2 million liters of diesel to the Gaza Strip's power plant is a circumvention of international law, treaties and conventions governing the treatment of a population under occupation.

The Federation appealed to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, other Arab leaders, the Quartet and international organizations to pressure Israel to lifting the siege and return to supply sufficient quantities of oil and gas to the Gaza Strip.
