Long queues formed in Gaza as thousands of people queue for badly needed fuel. “I waited in line for more than seven hours,” resident Khaled Ashour told the Palestinian Wafa news agency. “I was number 1,856 in line but I was not lucky, firstly because there was not enough fuel for everyone, and because it was late and the fuel station closed,” he added. Another man said that he had waited in a queue of 6,000 people before receiving only a little fuel.
