Al Jazeera Documentary: Gaza - Left in the Dark



Life in Gaza is not easy amid constant power outages caused by limited electricity supplies and fuel shortages. Gaza is in the midst of an acute power crisis, with blackouts lasting for up to 12 hours and a shortage of generator fuel. Abdul Aziz Abu Safiea, who works for the Gaza Electricity Distribution Company, says: "It's a strange job that only exists in Gaza. I cut the power off and reconnect it according to a set timetable.  I cut off the power to every home in Gaza for at least eight hours every day. Every second, one-third of Gaza's population is without electricity."
