Over 2 million people in Gaza are navigating life under a deepening energy crisis after Israel halted electricity supplies to the region on October 7. With 66% of Gaza's power historically sourced from Israel, the cutoff has forced households, hospitals, and schools to rely on backup generators and solar panels. But time—and fuel—is running out.
🚨 \"We charge phones during daylight and pray the solar panels work,\" shared a Gaza resident via social media. As fuel reserves dwindle, hospitals ration life-saving equipment, businesses shutter early, and families face sleepless nights without fans or lights. Solar energy, once a sustainable alternative, can't meet demand amid frequent maintenance challenges.
Humanitarian groups warn of a \"catastrophic collapse\" if fuel isn't replenished soon. Meanwhile, global leaders urge dialogue to stabilize the region. For Gaza's youth, the crisis hits harder: online classrooms and remote work grind to a halt, pushing dreams further out of reach.
