(Reuters) -A United Nations team got about 75,000 litres of fuel into Gaza on Wednesday, the first such delivery in 130 days, said U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric on Thursday.

"The amount entered yesterday isn’t sufficient to cover even one day of energy requirements. Fuel is still running out and services will shut down if far greater volumes do not enter immediately," Dujarric told reporters.
