Israel has decided to cut off electricity supplies to Gaza, intensifying its pressure on Hamas as negotiations for a ceasefire become increasingly chaotic. This action raises concerns for the 2.3 million residents, who primarily rely on diesel generators, particularly affecting access to clean water and sewage services. As Israel escalates airstrikes and tightens its blockade in response to Hamas's actions, the situation remains critical. Talks continue for the release of Israeli hostages, while humanitarian officials warn of dire consequences from these decisions.
"This move is aimed at ramping up pressure on Hamas as negotiations for a ceasefire become increasingly chaotic, yet it casts uncertainty over the humanitarian situation in Gaza."
"Humanitarian officials fear that with the electricity cut, the only functioning desalination plant in Gaza will shut down, further jeopardizing access to clean water for residents."
