The Energy and Natural Resources Authority in Gaza has said that the amount of fuel supplied to Gaza electricity generation station was dramatically slashed recently.
The authority said in a statement on Tuesday that the Egyptian authorities and the Israeli occupation authority were allowing only 100000 liters of fuel daily into Gaza while its sole power generation station needs 500000 liters per day to operate at full capacity.
It noted that fuel shipment, donated by Qatar, was much needed now in the summer heat in Gaza where the inhabitants consume more power.
The authority charged the IOA and the Egyptian petroleum company with exchanging roles in perpetuating the Gaza population’s suffering due to the resultant power crisis.
The authority asked all parties concerned and humanitarian groups to intervene and find a solution that would allow daily and enough amount of the Qatari fuel into the besieged enclave to alleviate the suffering of its inhabitants as a result of the power crisis.
