Israel Cuts Off Electricity to Gaza Amid Tensions

Israel announces it is halting electricity supply to Gaza, affecting desalination plants for drinking water. This follows a cessation of all goods to the region, pressuring Hamas to extend ceasefire negotiations. Gaza relies on generators and solar panels as an alternative power source amidst devastation.

Israel has decided to cease its electricity supply to Gaza, a move expected to impact the territory's access to drinking water, as desalination facilities rely on this power.

This development follows a complete suspension of goods to over two million residents, as Israel aims to extend the initial ceasefire phase, which concluded last weekend.

While Hamas urges negotiations over a more complex second phase of the ceasefire, the war-torn region is forced to depend on generators and solar panels for its power needs.
