Gaza's Power Plant Faces Imminent Shutdown, Plunging Territory into Darkness

The only operational power plant in Gaza is set to shut down due to a lack of fuel, according to the head of the Palestinian enclave's energy authority. Israel has imposed a total siege on Gaza in response to attacks from Hamas, cutting off supplies of fuel and other essentials. The enclave has been sealed off since 2007 when Hamas took power, and it has been subjected to retaliatory strikes from Israel, resulting in numerous casualties.
