Gaza power plant faces shutdown
22/4/08
The sole power plant in the Gaza Strip that provides 30 per cent of the territory’s electricity is running out of fuel. Officials have warned that the power plant would shut down within 30 hours if Israel does not resume fuel shipments to the isolated territory Kanaan Obeid, vice-president of Gaza’s power authority, said in a press conference: “The supply of fuel will only last another 30 hours, which means that we expect the power generating plant will stop on Wednesday night.”
