Gazans have begun converting construction waste and debris into fuel as severe restrictions on petrol and diesel supplies persist, the Palestine News Network reported. Residents are using the locally produced alternative to power vehicles, bakeries, and cooking operations as traditional fuel sources remain largely inaccessible.
The shift reflects deepening shortages across the territory, where fuel access has been severely curtailed. With petrol and diesel in short supply, families and business owners have turned to burning salvaged materials from destroyed buildings to meet essential energy needs. The practice has become widespread among residents attempting to maintain basic services under sustained constraints.
