Gaza’s sole power plant shuts over lack of fuel – The National

Gaza's sole power plant shut down on Saturday after running out of fuel, five days after Israel closed its goods crossing with the Palestinian enclave.

"The power plant in Gaza has stopped [working] due to the fuel shortage," said Mohammed Thabet, an electricity company spokesman.

The electricity supply is expected to plummet to only four hours a day, Mr Thabet said.
