Israel sent in about 700,000 liters of the industrial diesel needed to run Gaza’s power plant on Tuesday, and the plant powered up again just after 12:00 noon.
The plant had not been producing electricity since Sunday night at 8 pm, for lack of fuel.
A decision has been made to run two turbines at full load, to produce 65 MW of electricity. By about 8 pm, the two turbines were operating at 56 MW.
Israeli officials said that the 700,000 were to last for two days. But, two turbines operating at full load continuously need 720,000 liters.
Palestinians in Gaza demonstrated against the limitations keep on the sanctions imposed by the Israeli military in response to the firing of Qassams, mortars, and other “projectiles” at Israeli territories.
And a massive propaganda campaign is underway to blame Hamas for the crisis in Gaza — which some propagandists even said is faked.
