Electricity back in Bethlehem, but Palestinians still at a loss
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Palestinian electricity official says power is back on in Bethlehem, but some areas are continuing to be affected by today’s cut by the IEC.
Hisham Omari, director of the Jerusalem District Electricity Co., says Bethlehem lost power for four hours, and nearby villages were expected to be affected in the next two days.
“We tried as much as possible not to reach this situation, but clearly this is a political decision,” he says. “Today everybody in Bethlehem suffered,” including hotels and the main hospital, he says.
