@CivtechDev @SaraHirschhorn1 I’m not sure if you’re upset with me or with Hamas. This is an informational thread. I’m answering you with the facts that I have. The power plant is controlled by Hamas. If its storage is already depleted, it means Hamas emptied it for its own use. It’s a common wartime measure.

Following #Israel 's decision to cut the #electricity supply to #Gaza , I'm sharing a short informational thread with background on Gaza's electricity sector and the consequences of the supply cut: In times of peace, 50% of the electricity in Gaza is provided by Israel for free ->

@ElaiRettig @SaraHirschhorn1 Again ignoring that Gaza's 1 generation station has run out of fuel. I have to wonder if this propagandist is well paid for his sophistry.

@CivtechDev @SaraHirschhorn1 Hamas indeed reported that the power station has already ran out of fuel, but the plant’s diesel storage capacity is designed to last for at least two weeks. This means that Hamas emptied the storage itself. Most likely to power its own generators in the bunkers to last longer.

@ElaiRettig @SaraHirschhorn1 Capacity is design for X. And was the storage full? "Most likely" is sophistry. "This means that Hamas emptied the storage itself." is more sophistry. Hamas has power? not the people. ghastly cynicism

@ElaiRettig @SaraHirschhorn1 "This means that Hamas emptied the storage itself" really caught people's attention! Goes to show how propaganda succeeds.

@ElaiRettig @CivtechDev @SaraHirschhorn1 Apparently, he thinks that it's propaganda to expect Hamas to run anything with any competence whatsoever.
