Gaza residents experience blackouts after Israel cuts fuel
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Gaza residents were experiencing sporadic electricity blackouts, and Palestinian officials were blaming Israel for cutting off fuel shipments to their power plant.
The IDF military administration in Gaza spokesman Peter Lerner said the Palestinians warned their Gaza City electricity plant would run out of fuel Monday if shipments aren't resumed. He said the shipments were stopped last Wednesday because of Palestinian rocket attacks.
The Defense Ministry said Sunday no decision has been made about renewing the fuel supplies.
The Gaza City plant provides about a quarter of Gaza's electricity. Most of the rest comes directly over lines from Israel. Egypt also provides a small amount.
