No power, fuel in Gaza as winter nears

The Gaza Strip remains without electricity and fuel for the upcoming winter as the Israeli regime steps up the pressure on the Palestinians in the besieged enclave.

According to Press TV, only six hours of electricity per day and no gas makes most of Gaza’s homes cold for the winter.
In the past few months, electricity has been rationed and also blackouts have increased during rainfalls.
Fuel and electricity shortages in the Gaza Strip have also worsened due to Egyptian government’s closure of Gaza tunnels. These tunnels are the only lifeline for Palestinians living under the Israeli siege.
Gaza has been blockaded since June 2007, a situation that has caused a decline in the standards of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment, and unrelenting poverty.
