Jamal Elderdisawi , the Public relation and information manger in GEDCo has said that stopping the Gaza Power Plant from operation due to an Israeli decision to stop pumping the fuel into Gaza Strip , deepens the electricity shortage crisis the which GEDCo and the citizens suffer from years ago, he emphasized that the shortage of electricity exited even before the Israeli air strike on the power plant the time it was producing 90 MW / per hour, this amount reduced to 50 MW / per hour as the power plant has been partially fixed after the strike , the repairing work has not been completed due to the closures imposed on Gaza Strip. He stated that the Gaza Strip demand for electricity is 250 MW in order to reach stable and continuous supplying service , the stoppage of the power plant only leaves 187 MW on the electrical network which forces GEDCo to do load shedding this leaves large areas with long hours of electricity cut exceeds 8 hours daily. He warned that this will have devastating effect on the most of the basic services which the daily public life are based on, he emphasized on the danger of terminating the work of hospitals , water supply and swage system which will trigger environmental and humanitarian crisis. He expected if the crisis extended to weeks , sewage plants will find the only available alternative is to pump the dirty water into the sea waters, which will lead to serious environmental pollution may not be only on the shores of Gaza. In the context of the comparison between the current expected crisis compared with what had happened for the sector last year, he said that the current crisis is more serious and severe than the previous crisis in terms of the expected results, noting that the crisis in the past came under the fuel availability in Gaza Strip, which enabled GEDCo at the time to operate public generators supporting the electrical network and besides operate the private generators in the buildings, public institutions and services, and leaving network electricity to the residential areas under agreed upon program agreed with those institutions , however in the current situation, GEDCo will face the crisis without the availability of fuel.
