Gaza power supplies critically low, warns UN<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

30 April 2008 – Due to disruptions at the Nahal Oz fuel crossing – which was attacked earlier this month by Palestinian militants – fuel supplies for Gaza are critically low, the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO) warned today. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

“Without additional fuel deliveries before Friday, the power plant could be forced to shut down this weekend,” UN spokesperson Marie Okabe told reporters in New York. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The Nahal Oz depot is the sole overland conduit into the Gaza Strip. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

In a related development, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA<\/span><\/a>) reported that it has no benzene and is running dangerously low in diesel fuel due to distribution issues. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Passenger cars are grounded, while vehicles used for food distributions that rely on diesel will be inoperable again next week if no new supplies are provided. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

UNSCO underscored the need for all sides to ensure that UNRWA has the necessary benzene and diesel it needs to carry out its work.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
