Short Link:
In the context of tightening the siege and closures and continuing the imposition of collective punishment on the population in the Gaza Strip, the IOF closed Nahal Auz crossing, on 16/1/2008. This crossing point is located in the eastern Al Shaja'ia neighborhood in Gaza City. This closure means fewer fuel supplies for Gaza Strip's only power station. As a result, electricity cuts will increase, further exacerbating the crisis. Therefore, electricity in the Gaza Strip will be cut more than five hours a day. Since October 2007, electricity cuts reached its peak in January.
