Gaza runs out of Electricity, as Israel-Hamas war enters Day 5

Gaza runs out of Electricity, as Israel-Hamas war enters Day 5

The main source of electricity has gone out in Gaza after the territory’s only power station ran out of fuel.

Since Hamas’s attack over the weekend, Israel has imposed a siege of Gaza, cutting its supplies of electricity, fuel, food, goods and water.

It means people in Gaza will rely on generators for electricity – if they have the fuel to run them.

A Gaza resident Kamal Mashharawi who spoke with BBC News, said “It’s very difficult – we don’t have water, we don’t have internet, we don’t have electricity”.

Latest updates from the Israeli-Hamas war:

  • More Gazans are seeking shelter in schools and hospitals as Israeli air strikes continue
  • In Israel, air raid sirens have been heard in the north and the south, with injuries reported as rockets land from Gaza
  • The Israeli military says it has massed troops at near the border with Gaza, including 300,000 reservists
  • The number killed by Hamas’s weekend attacks in Israel has reached 1,200 – while more than 1,000 people have been killed by Israeli air strikes on Gaza

  • At the other end of the country, Israel has attacked Lebanese territory in response to an attack from the Hezbollah militia
