Electricity Cuts Deepen Gaza Crisis 10 Years After Israeli Blockade — GAZA CITY, GAZA - JULY 24: A general view of the Beit Hanoun neighborhood on July 24, 2017 in Gaza City, Gaza. For the past ten years Gaza residents have lived with constant power shortages, in recent years these cuts have worsened, with supply of regular power limited to four hours a day. On June 11, 2017 Israel announced a new round of cuts at the request of the Palestinian authorities and the decision was seen as an attempt by President Mahmoud Abbas to pressure Gaza's Hamas leadership. Prior to the new cuts Gaza received 150 megawatts per day, far below it's requirements of 450 megawatts. In April, Gaza's sole power station which supplied 60 megawatts shut down, after running out of fuel, the three lines from Egypt, which provided 27 megawatts are rarely operational, leaving Gaza reliant on the 125 megawatts supplied by Israel's power plant. The new cuts now restrict electricity to three hours a day severely effecting hospital patients with chronic conditions and babies on life support. During blackout hours residents use private generators, solar panels and battery operated light sources to live. June 2017 also marked ten years since Israel began a land, sea and air blockade over Gaza. Under the blockade, movement of people and goods is restricted and exports and imports of raw materials have been banned. The restrictions have virtually cut off access for Gaza's two million residents to the outside world and unemployment rates have skyrocketed forcing many people into poverty and leaving approximately 80% of the population dependent on humanitarian aid.

Un palestinian, Mahmoud al-Masri, în vârstă de 30 de ani, a fost ucis vineri la est de Khan Younes, în apropiere de bariera de securitate care închide ermetic frontiera dintre Israel şi Fâşia Gaza, informează news.ro.

Manifestaţii au loc vineri împotriva recunoaşterii de către Statele Unite a Ierusalimului drept capitală a Israelului. Sute de palestinieni au fost răniţi în ciocniri cu forţe israeliene.

Mahmoud al-Masri a fost ucis în tiruri ale armatei israeliene, în Fâşia Gaza, în timp ce participa la aceste manifestaţii.

El este primul palestinian omorât în timpul manifestaţiilor împotriva deciziei preşedintelui american Donald Trump, anunţate miercuri.

Gestul Statelor Unite de a recunoaşte Ierusalimul drept capitală a Israelului a reaprins tensiunile în Orientul Mijlociu. Sute de palestinieni au atacat armata israeliană şi au cerut declanşarea unei noi revolte populare împotriva statului evreu.

Un potop de critici vine, de altfel, din toată lumea. Din Germania şi Franţa până în Turcia şi Arabia Saudită, marile puteri au condamnat pasul fără precedent făcut de americani.
