Generators and reserves ‘not enough’: Gaza’s sole power plant out of service

Gaza’s sole power plant is now out of service, after Israel cut supplies, according to the Energy Authority.

According to local Palestinian media, the besieged enclave now has no electricity.

Health officials have raised concerns over the spread of scabies in hospitals and overcrowded schools where Palestinians are seeking shelter. 

Earlier today, MEE journalist Maha Hussaini said she lost connection as her phone and laptop ran out of charge, which is rendering Palestinians “silent” during the ongoing bombardment.
