Gaza facing ‘imminent humanitarian catastrophe’

Gaza’s power plant will be shutting down in a matter of hours after Israel cut fuel supplies to the besieged Strip. 

According to Palestine’s Government Media Office in Gaza, this “threatens to plunge the Strip into complete darkness and make it impossible to continue providing all basic life services, all of which depend on electricity, and it will not be possible to operate them partially with generators in light of the prevention of fuel supplies from Rafah Gate.”

The Government Media Office called on the international community to “move quickly to stop this crime against humanity and this multi-form mass murder.”
