Since the Israel-Hamas ceasefire took effect in the Gaza Strip in October, the region has experienced a severe shortage of gas supply, according to the Hamas-run government media office on Saturday.
A total of 660 gas transport trucks were originally scheduled to enter Gaza, but as of now, only 104, or just about 16 percent of the agreed-upon supply amount, have been authorized to do so.
The media office said that gas in Gaza is allocated based on the number of registered households. Currently, approximately 252,000 households have received their allocations, while the system's target coverage is about 470,000 households, leaving a large number of families without access to supply. Due to the ongoing supply shortages, it will take at least three months to complete the distribution for all registered families.
