GAZA (PIC)– The sole electricity generation station in Gaza came to a halt on Saturday night for the third time in less than a month after it ran out of fuel.

The energy and natural resources authority in Gaza announced in a statement that the station used lately to operate only one of its four turbines due to fuel shortage.

It noted that the shutdown coincides with the Israeli military escalation against the Strip which further complicated the situation in Gaza and doubled the suffering of its population.

The authority appealed to officials and concerned parties to expedite supplying the station with enough fuel through official channels to guarantee its uninterrupted re-operation so as to alleviate the people’s suffering.

GAZA (PIC)– The sole electricity generation station in Gaza has come to a complete halt on Tuesday after all fuel quantities in the company’s stores ran out plunging the Strip into total darkness.

Gaza currently lives on six hours of power daily and in the event of the closure of the station the suffering would exacerbate.

Human rights groups warned that the power outage would negatively affect the health of patients in Gaza hospitals.

The power authority in Gaza urged the Egyptian officials to expedite sending fuel to ensure work of the station and to alleviate the suffering of the Gaza population.
