The development leaves only generators to power the territory.
Palestinians in the sealed-off Gaza Strip struggled to find any safe area on Wednesday, as Israeli strikes demolished entire neighbourhoods, hospitals ran low on supplies and the territory’s only power plant ran out of fuel, deepening the misery of a war sparked by a deadly assault by Hamas militants.
Since then, militants have continued to fire rockets at Israel, including a heavy barrage at the southern town of Ashkelon on Wednesday. “There is no safe place in Gaza right now,” journalist Hasan Jabar said after three Palestinian journalists were killed in the bombardment of a city centre neighbourhood home to government ministries, media offices and hotels. “I am genuinely afraid for my life.”
In one hospital “we consumed three weeks’ worth of emergency stock in three days, partly due to 50 patients coming in at once”, Matthias Kannes, the aid group’s head of mission in Gaza, said on Wednesday.Gaza City was hit by Israeli airstrikes “I have removed every restriction — we will eliminate anyone who fights us, and use every measure at our disposal.”
