Power plant shuts down due to lack of repair equipment
The power plant in Gaza has begun to collapse as lapsed maintenance and repair efforts reach a critical stage. Some areas of the grid have ceased to function and others are in dangerous condition.
Head of Public Relations at an electricity company in Gaza Jamal Al-Dardasawi said on Thursday that the Israeli ban on maintenance equipment and spare grid parts was to blame for recent power outages.
Al-Darasawi explained that parts for the power station have not been able to enter Gaza for more than a year, and local supplies for repair are totally exhausted. Areas in the northern Biet Lahia sector will have no electricity until new switches and generators can be provided.
