The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in Gaza said that it is extremely concerned about the closure of Gaza’s lone power plant since last Tuesday, 18 August, as The closure of the power plant has caused the power feed to decline to two to three hours per day, followed by 20 hours of interruption. UNRWA believes that such poor power feed will negatively impact on the wellbeing and safety of the people of Gaza. It will also have devastating effects on Gaza’s vital services, including hospitals, thus putting the lives and health of nearly two million people, including 1.4 million registered Palestine refugees at risk. Furthermore, UNRWA stressed that Under International Humanitarian Law, the passage of all relief consignments, in this case, fuel for electricity, should not be prevented.
