AFP NOVEMBER 1, 2013 Hamas: Power outage across Gaza as fuel runs out A shortage of fuel halted the production of electricity across the Gaza Strip on Friday, said the energy authority of the Islamist movement Hamas, which controls the Palestinian enclave. We have completely stopped the operation of [Gazas sole] power plant this morning at 6:00 am because we dont have a single liter of fuel, Fathi el-Sheikh Khalil, the authoritys deputy chairman, told AFP. An AFP correspondent in the Gaza Strip said the electricity supply had been cut off across most of the territory on Friday morning. Khalil blamed the power outage on Israels destruction of tunnels used for bringing fuel to Gaza and accused the Western-backed Palestinian Authority of charging Hamas too much for its fuel. https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/mena/518522-hamas-power-outage-across-gaza-as-fuel-runs-out
