Israel cuts Gaza electricity to 2 hours a day

Israel approved on Sunday a 35 per cent reduction of the electricity supply to Gaza Strip, IMEMC reported.

Gaza residents have electricity for less than six hours a day, now, due to the 10-year-old Israeli-Egyptian siege.

After this reduction, each household will have less than two hours  of electricity per day.

Usually, Qatar and Turkey pay for the fuel of the sole electricity plant in Gaza, which provides a couple of hours every day.

Due to the current diplomatic crisis between the Arab states and Qatar, it is not clear whether Qatar would renew its payments or not.
