#RNN | #Palestine | Gazas only power plant ready to work pending fuel supply The only power plant in Gaza is now ready to work pending the delivery of fuel supply needed to operate it, CEO of Gaza Electricity Company Walid Sayel said in a press conference Saturday. The power plant has stopped working completely after being shelled by Israeli warplanes during the latest Israeli onslaught on Gaza which lasted for 51 days. According to Sayel, the company has received promises from the Palestinian presidency in Ramallah to provide it with fuel in the coming few days. He pointed out that the damages in the plant have been fixed and that its ready to function as soon as the fuel arrives. Sayel called on Turkey to subsidise the power plant in Gaza, pointing out that the idea of a Turkish fuel ship at the moment is impossible to be approved by Israel. The Turkish minister of energy had said that his country is ready to send a floating 100 megawatt power plant to Gaza after obtaining the necessary permits. Source: MEM
