The Gaza Strip's sole power plant is once again being supplied with fuel by Israel.
Fuel supplies were stopped on Saturday in response to Palestinian rocket attacks.
Tens of thousands of people were left without power as a result.
A Palestinian spokesperson says the plant now has enough fuel for three days.
The power plant meets one-third of Gaza's power needs, the remainder is supplied directly by Israel and Egypt.
