Gaza’s power authority has said the blockaded enclave’s sole power plant has run out of fuel, leaving the Palestinian territory without electricity after Israel cut off supplies to punish people of besieged Gaza.
Meanwhile, doctors of Gaza have issued issue SOS to the WHOLE WORLD as the extremely over crowded hospitals have turned dark after Israel’s ‘total siege’ of Gaza, shut down power plant completely.
Palestinian Energy Authority Chairman Thafer Melhem had earlier warned that the plant would shut down in the afternoon in Gaza, where about 2.3 million people live in one of the most densely populated areas in the world.
“I don’t have the words to describe how terrible it is here,” said a reporter speaking from northern Gaza. “It’s like a ball of hell,” he said.
“The streets are empty. People are afraid to seek their basic needs, including water.”
Moreover, he added that hospitals in Gaza were full as thousands were turning up to take shelter.
The power shut down has plunged the Gaza Strip into complete darkness and made 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.
“This catastrophic situation creates a humanitarian crisis for all residents of the Gaza Strip,” said a statement issued by Gaza’s authorities on Wednesday.
The statement referred to Israel’s blockade “as the dirtiest crime of collective punishment against defenceless civilians in modern history”.
