Outrage over Gaza power cut
GAZA CITY: A Palestinian company cut off power to parts of the central Gaza Strip yesterday after Israel closed a crossing through which fuel is brought into the Palestinian area.
Several neighbourhoods of Gaza City were blanketed in darkness a few hours after the Gaza Generating Company, which supplies the strip with about 25 per cent of its electricity, said it would turn off three of its four generators.
The remainder of Gaza's electricity needs is supplied by Israel, Egypt and private electricity generators.
"For two days we have not received fuel," said chairman of the Gaza Generating Company Rafik Malikha.
"The Israeli side is preventing vehicles from approaching the crossing."
He warned that if fuel was not delivered into the impoverished territory before tomorrow morning, "electricity production will stop entirely."
An Israeli army spokesman confirmed that deliveries of fuel had been stopped "for security reasons."
"More than 1.4 million litres of fuel crossed from Israel into the Gaza Strip through Nahal Oz" between Sunday and Wednesday, the spokesman said.
Malikha urged "the European Union and the Palestinian Authority to intervene as this will have negative consequences for Gaza, especially for hospitals."

Why not use Egypt to get power and fuel from?

I am with you all the way, just tell me what can be done.
It is so sad what is transpiring in Gaza, so sad? Why isn't Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,Iram etc. helping out at all?
Do you think that it is because they know that Gaza is already entitled to so many millions being held back by the Israeli's or that if they send cash that only 50% makes it to the people. Or maybe they don't wanna tick the EU and America off?
In any case just tell me what I have to do?

As the main feature of these processes we recognize the high importance attached to the fact of rendering the occupation energy mobile and capable of discharge; the content and the actual significance of the psychic http://startso11.info/www.nascap.pl.html elements, to which these energies adhere, become a matter of secondary importance..

The Israelis claim they are doing this as a response to the rocket fire from Gaza...why doesn't Hamas/Islamic Jihad/etc. just stop firing rockets? Surely they don't think the Israelis will tolerate rockets being fired at civilian targets with impunity?
Perhaps the fastest route to restoring power and reversing the decline in Gaza would be to stop the rocket fire! It is not doing any good for Gaza residents and reduces international support for Palestinians.
What is the logic in continued rocket fire?

Why import fuel from israel?
If you use fuel to make rockets to fire at israel, why should they send fuel?
it is war you have chosen......

No matter how you feel about one side of the war or the other it's the children, the sick and the innocent that are paying the price for having no fuel. It's not these people that want war. It's the governing bodies that police them that decide what to do. You're use of the word "you" is too wide and vague blanketing a whole people.
Mona,
Great, but heart breaking read. I wish that there was more international coverage for is ugly situation. Peace and love to you and your family. Please keep Baz, Sondos and all of our other loved ones safe.
