NO electricity starting early in this morning which is a first for me ..so hope my battery will last to cut and paste this message which I will try to send later ..the blackout periods have become more numerous and prolonged. The electricity shortage could so easily be remedied by simply increasing the fuel supply and allowing the repair of the one interior electrical plant is also critical. The entire population is punished by these dreadful blackouts,a constant and humiliating reminder to the Palestinians here of Israeli control of every minute of their lives. This total control being the reason international law does not consider Israel to have lifted the occupation of Gaza even though their settlers no longer physically occupy this area. Economists name this manipulation of the electrical supply as part of the Israeli plan of deliberate "de-development of Gaza" which has been implemented in various forms for dozens of years.
