I'm sure they won't have a problem, seeing that they built the first one themselves. Wait, in the distance-- is that?

The sole electricity plant in the Gaza Strip stopped working Thursday because of a lack of fuel, officials said, as concerns grew over worsening humanitarian conditions in the Hamas-controlled area.
The closure of the plant, which normally provides around a fifth of Gaza's electricity, will exacerbate an already critical power shortage.
Gaza's two million residents receive only around four hours of mains electricity a day, a situation for which they blame Hamas and the Palestinian Authority.
Hamas leaders enjoy electricity 24 hours a day. However, they refuse to invest international aid monies in infrastructure for Gaza's residents, preferring instead to invest in terror tunnels, rockets, and mortars, intended for use against Israeli civilians.
Despite Hamas' attacks on Israeli civilians, and the fact that Gaza is no longer Israel's responsibility, Israel is set to increase the electricity supply to Gaza.
Mohammed Thabet, spokesman for Gaza's energy distribution company, said it had been informed by the energy authority the power station stopped functioning at midnight because of the lack of fuel.
Usually the plant provides around 20 megawatts per day using fuel imported from Egypt, but now the only energy available in the Strip is the roughly 120 megawatts of electricity imported from Israel.
"The Gaza Strip needs around 500 megawatts (per day). We have an energy deficit of 380 megawatts," Thabet said.

The windmills stopped?
This reminds me of South Africa running out of water, only SA refused any help from Israel.
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Only a small percentage of Palis who wanted peace moved out of Ghaza. The rest were killed.
Who needs electricity when we need rockets,ammunition and money to pay for our dead terrorist heroes.
burn your bombs.
Sure they can, but neither Saudi Arabia or Iran truly like the Arabs on the West Bank and in Gaza.
Iran wants to game them against Israel.
Saudi Arabia has about the same opinion of them as we do.
The Arabs in these areas have worked for nearly 70 years to get the region to hate Israel. Many nations are sick and tired of them. The welcome mats have long since been pulled up.
Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon,... the list goes on. Nobody wants the Arabs from the West Bank and Gaza.
The Europeans are about the last to ‘get it’. Jordan helps out a little financially. Europe does. Everyone else has pretty much wised up.
Despite all this and the absolute hated from the Arabs on the West Bank and in Gaza, the Israelis continue to supply them with power and other things.
The Arabs in these areas could have had a nation 70 years ago. They opted to spend all their money on terrorism, and not improving the lives of their people.
Arafat even stole billions in relief for himself. I don’t believe he’s the only leader to have done that either.
I don’t there there is a clearer place on the planet where you can see the wages of good and evil.
I think some US agency "insures" that plant. Probably a Clinton-era thing, for a kickback on all the monies the terrorists grift, to keep Israel from taking it out.
Doesn't do much good if the terrorists can't, or won't, fuel it though.
Every time a rocket Flys out of Gaza, Israel should shut off all utilities for 24 hours. With all the Billions of our taxes sent to the idiot Satan worshipers in Gaza, the have only built 20 megawatts of the 300 they need!
Dumber than a box of rocks.
I'm sure they won't have a problem, seeing that they built the first one themselves. Wait, in the distance-- is that?

Palestinians are garbage
..................
My understanding is it's not so much an oil shortage as a free oil shortage. They don't want to pay for it.
They live in spiritual darkness as it is. Israel should make it physical as well.
Why does that not surprise me?
