In a worrying development, the sole power plant in the Gaza Strip has come to a halt due to a lack of fuel, according to the energy authority. Jalal Ismail, the head of the authority, announced that the power plant ceased functioning at 2:00pm local time. This comes after earlier warnings about the plant running out of fuel.

Adding to the escalating crisis, Israel recently declared a “total siege” on the besieged enclave, blocking crucial supplies such as food, water, and fuel from entering Gaza. Furthermore, a fresh wave of rockets has been launched towards southern Israel, with images showing flames dangerously close to residential buildings in Ashkelon. The al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, has claimed responsibility for the attack.
