Most of Gaza Without Electricity After Israeli Bombing of Power Plant 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
On Tuesday, most of Gaza's already limited electricity supply was cut
off after Israeli tank fire hit the fuel depot of the Strip's only power
plant. A Gazan Health Ministry official said the attack threatens to
impact severely Gaza's hospitals.

Dr. Yousef Abu El-Rish: "Power is expected to go out completely because
the quantities we have will not suffice for a few days, which threatens
various hospital departments, especially intensive care units, dialysis,
pediatrics and surgery departments that are threatened with collapse."
