The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) condemns the prevention of technical crews from repairing one of the major lines that carry electricity from Israel to the Gaza Strip by Israeli authorities. The line has been disrupted for 13 days which has resulted in aggravating the electricity crisis affecting the Gaza strip and increasing the power shortage by 37.3%. PCHR is concerned over the consequences of the continued disruption of the line, especially increasing hours of electricity outages and the resulting impact on daily services provided to the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.
Mr. Jamal al-Dirdissawi, Director of Public Relations in Gaza Electricity Distribution Company (GEDCO), stated to PCHR that on 17 November 2011, one of the major lines that carry electricity from Israel to the Gaza Strip was disrupted near the northern border.
