Second Gaza power turbine goes online after fuel deliveries resume
The United Nations envoy for Middle East peace says power production in the Gaza Strip is at its highest level since January, after Israel allowed the resumption of fuel shipments to the Palestinian enclave.
Qatari-purchased fuel entered Gaza on Wednesday for the first time in over a week after Israel’s decision to halt the shipments shortly after they began over an increase in violence emanating from the Strip.
#BREAKING: Today the second turbine of the #Gaza Power Plant starts producing 52 MW, alleviating the suffering of 2 million #Palestinians in Gaza. Total supply is 172 MW (yesterday was 141MW), the highest amount of electricity output since 21 January 2018. #UN
