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”.
