Gaza shortages bring back the donkey as form of transportation
By Haaretz Staff and Channel 10
Tags: fuel, Gaza Strip
Haaretz.com/Channel 10 daily feature for December 19, 2007.

Gazans seem to be traveling back in time as major shortages in fuel and car parts restore the donkey to the most prevalent form of transportation.

Since Israel reduced fuel transport to Gaza due to ongoing rocket attacks, gas stations have become increasingly irrelevant and donkey markets flourish.
