The energy authority in the Gaza Strip has announced that the besieged coastal enclave’s sole power plant will stop running until next Tuesday due to fuel shortages, as Israel’s Kerem Shalom crossing remained closed to fuel imports for the second consecutive day.
In a statement issued yesterday, the authority said the power station would be out of service due to lack of fuel deliveries.
The flow of fuel supplies into the blockaded Palestinian territory was further impeded due to repair work on pipes at Kerem Shalom, according to a statement released yesterday y by the borders and crossing committee.
According to the statement however, all other goods besides fuel supplies were still being allowed through the crossing.
