Gaza faces power outages amid political infighting
[Al Ahram] Paleostinian officials say Gazoo's power plant is not operating and the territory is facing power outages due to a fuel shortage caused by political infighting.Ihab Ghussein, front man for Gazoo's Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, government, said Sunday that the rival government in the West Bank has stopped transferring fuel to Gazoo because the Gazoo government won't pay a newly imposed tax. Hamas says it cannot afford the tax. In recent months, Egypt has closed smuggling tunnels along the Gazoo border that provided fuel to the Paleostinian territory. Egypt also has halted transfers of Qatari-funded fuel because of Death Eater attacks on Egyptian security forces in the lawless Sinai Peninsula. Higher-priced Israeli fuel transfers are continuing. Power outages in Gazoo now last 12 hours because of the fuel shortage. Posted by: Fred 2013-11-11 |
