The Palestinian Energy and Natural Resources Authority (PENRA) has warned that the fuel supplies that were funded by Qatar for the Gaza power plant three months ago will run out within a few days.
“If taxes on the power station’s fuel were not cancelled we would face great difficulty in securing fuel for it and ensuring its continuity” the PENRA stated in a press release on Monday.
It called on all concerned parties to assume their responsibilities towards Gaza and prevent the power crisis from happening again.
Three months ago Qatar had donated 12 million dollars to buy fuel for the Gaza’s lone power plant in order to ease the electricity crisis.
The Qatari-funded fuel operated a third generator at the power plant and helped to provide electricity in eight-hour cycles for three months.
