Only power plant in the Gaza strip is shut down, because Israel refuses to allow Gaza to import more gas. Widepsread blackouts are occuring.

Why does Israel limit the amount of gas that the Gunt Strip can import? It seems like it might make the regunt even more gunterous.

Before the entire string section launches into a dirge of mourning for the poor gazans without electricity, call to mind that Israel was supplying (for free) all the petrol (for cars) lng(for the power plant/home heating use) and fuel (for oil stoves etc.)
until some brilliant strategist in the ham ass government decided to attack & bomb the Karni crossing (מעבר קרני معبر كارني).

Your blow up the only port of orderly entry, you get no more goods.

"Only a fully functioning Karni Crossing can avert looming humanitarian crisis. The Director of UNRWA operations in Gaza, Mr. John Ging stated in response to the gazan attack on Karni"

This sort of decision proves that the rulers of gaza are fools to themselves.

over 70% of Gaza's power comes directly from israel. not from this power plant.

nice attempt at making Israel look bad.

FAIL AI is FAIL.

The last time Israel shut down shipments of fuel was when the peaceful palestinians murdered some workers at the fuel depot. I wouldn't be surprised if this incident was because of more attacks.

The very fuel depot who's only purpose is to supply Gaza with fuel. And yes, it's been mortared again this week (just like every other week before).
