Gaza enduring new electricity crisis

The Energy Authority in Gaza blamed the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah for a reduction in fuel supplied to the Gaza power plant.

The authority said only 5,950 cubic meters of industrial grade fuel were delivered to the plant in November. Only one week this month did the plant operate with two generators.

In its statement, the authority held PA government in Ramallah "fully responsible for the suffering of Gaza residents for their falling short behind meeting residents electricity needs."

"We are approaching a new crisis that began to appear with dropping temperatures and the increasingly cold weather which will the coming increase the demand for energy."
