Gaza's sole power plant will shutdown within hours, authorities warn
11 October 2023 05:28 BST
The sole power plant in the besieged Gaza Strip is set to shutdown “within hours due to the depletion of fuel,” the media office of the government in the besieged enclave said.
Gaza has been pounded by Israeli airstrikes since Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel Saturday.
In addition, Israel has imposed a total blockade of Gaza that includes cutting off water, food and fuel.
The Gaza Power Plant is now the only source of the enclave’s minimal amount of electricity. Hospitals treating wounded have had to work without power.
