300 Days Without Electricity
Huge losses in the electricity sector and serious repercussions on the humanitarian reality in Gaza
The electricity sector in Gaza is one of the most important sectors on which all other vital sectors depend, and it is the main driver of all humanitarian activity in the Gaza Strip.
It is no secret that the sector was subjected to massive destruction that affected all its components, which had a profound impact on the fragile humanitarian situation in Gaza.
This crisis began on October 7, 2023, when the electricity supply to the Gaza Strip, numbering 10 lines with a capacity of (120) MW, was cut off from within the Green Line, and the only power plant in the Gaza Strip stopped working due to fuel running out on October 11 of the same year. Consequently, there is no reliable electrical source left to operate thousands of vital facilities that are linked to the lives of 2.3 million citizens
The most important of these sectors are the health sector, water and wells sector, sanitation sector, communications sector, education sector, and the mills and bakeries sector, which had severe negative effects that directly contributed to deepening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and led to the death of thousands of injured and sick people, including children, women, and the elderly.
The major destruction that affected the infrastructure of the electricity sector, especially the electricity distribution networks with all its components, as well as the buildings, facilities, warehouses, and operating mechanisms for this sector, is considered one of the heaviest losses and disasters whose repercussions have deepened this crisis and increased pressure on those sectors, which has led to the collapse of a large number of them. Its services have been stopped completely.
Over time, the electricity crisis has created unprecedented challenges and undesirable results in the Gaza Strip, represented by the spread of epidemics and infectious diseases, the most recent of which was the emergence of the polio virus and dangerous meningitis, which are the result of large levels of pollution as a result of the lack of clean water and means of prevention.
Occasion. The Gaza Governorates Electricity Distribution Company puts all relevant parties in the picture of what is happening, and the relevant international reports bear witness to these dangerous repercussions, and they warn of the seriousness of this catastrophic situation that is linked to the cessation of electricity supplies for 300 days

Tens of thousands performed the funeral prayer for the body of the nation’s martyr, Sheikh Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Hamas movement, in the Qatari capital, Doha, today, Friday, in ceremonies that witnessed widespread popular and official attendance from various Arab and Islamic countries.
The funeral procession began at the Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab Mosque, the largest mosque in Doha, where Khalil al-Hayya, a member of the Hamas political bureau, led the funeral prayer.
Official and popular delegations from Arab and Islamic countries such as Turkey, Iran, Malaysia, Jordan, Morocco, Iraq, Mauritania, and Qatar attended the funeral. The Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Father Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, and Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, participated in the funeral prayer, alongside official delegations and leaders of Palestinian factions.
Prominent officials from several countries also attended the funeral, including the first vice president of Iran, Mohammad Reza Aref, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, and a high-level delegation from the Afghan government, in addition to representatives from Iraqi resistance factions.
The funeral also witnessed a significant presence of Hamas leaders abroad, headed by Khaled Meshal, and the Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement, Ziyad Nakhaleh, along with representatives from the Fatah movement, led by the movement’s deputy head, Mahmoud al-Aloul.
A Jewish delegation from the “Neturei Karta” group, a Jewish movement that rejects zionism and opposes the existence of the state of “israel,” also participated in the funeral, demanding the return of the land to the Palestinians.
The Iranian capital, Tehran, had witnessed an official and popular funeral ceremony for Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the Hamas political bureau, yesterday before his body was transferred to Doha on Thursday evening.
In Doha, the bodies of Haniyeh and his companion, Wasim Abu Shaaban, were buried in the Imam Al-Muassis cemetery in Lusail, with a limited number of close family members present, to ensure the family’s privacy and that of the cemetery.
Simultaneously with the funeral ceremonies in Doha, our nation’s masses responded to Hamas’ call to perform the absentee prayer for the soul of the leader Haniyeh, with millions of Muslims participating in the absentee prayer in Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, Pakistan, Yemen, Palestine, Jordan, and other countries.
