Gaza – Ma'an – Gazan resident Abd Ar-Rahman Farajallah revealed an alternative to cooking gas that he developed at a press conference on Thursday.
Cooking gas is in extremely short supply in the Gaza Strip due to the continued border closures imposed by Israel.
Farajallah explained that he invented a device using chemical substances available in Gaza, which burn when mixed and brought into contact with oxygen. He added that his concoction can be stored in medium-sized metal containers and used in homes, restaurants and bakeries as an alternative to cooking gas, since Israel has prevented deliveries of cooking gas to Gaza.

I wonder if this was developed from rocket fuel... and there are also other classic replacements for gas that may be easier to supply (the needed aluminium is a banned item for import into Gaza...).
Dried dung for one has been used historically to light fires.
