The Siege of Gaza: PA slashes medical funds, Egypt offers trade
With Gaza ailing, PA accused of slashing medical aid by nearly 90%

[IsraelTimes] Officials say Ramallah has reduced the money it gives for healthcare from $4 million to $500,000, leaving patients without medicine and equipment. As power is cut, it will only get worse.

According to information given to Physicians for Human Rights (PHRI) Israel by Gazoo’s Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,-run health ministry, "one-third of essential medicines and more than 270 medical equipment items for operating rooms and intensive care units can no longer be obtained in the Health Ministry’s storerooms and in Gazoo hospitals."

The organization said the cause of the shortages is the Paleostinian Authority’s slashing of funds sent to Gazoo, including for healthcare operations and medical supplies.

The PA, according to information given to PHRI, used to pay $4 million monthly for the regular operations of 13 government hospitals and 54 primary care centers. In April it was down to $2.3 million, and in May it fell to just $500,000, the organization said.

In April, the Israeli daily Haaretz quoted a senior adviser to PA President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
who said Ramallah is slashing the health care budget for Gazoo as part of the series of measures meant to coerce Hamas to relinquish some control of the Strip and give it back to the PA.
The PA is in the enviable position of running a siege using Israeli and Egyptian forces.
Egypt said to offer Hamas electricity in exchange for 17 wanted men

[IsraelTimes] With the terrorist leaders of Gazoo in a political vise in the Strip, Cairo reportedly believes it has more leverage.

Egypt offered Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, more freedom at its border and much-needed electricity amid a severe power shortage, in exchange for the terror group agreeing to a list of security demands, Arab media reported Tuesday.

The list of includes a demand that Hamas hand over 17 men wanted by Cairo on terrorism charges, more protection by Hamas at the border, the cessation of weapons smuggling into the Sinai, and information on the movement of forces of Evil into Gazoo via underground tunnels, the London-based Arabic daily Asharq al-Awsat reported.

The list was given to Hamas’s Gazoo chief Yahya Sinwar by Egyptian security officials during his nine-day trip to Cairo that ended on Monday.

However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly...
it is not clear how much Egypt can do to stem Gazoo’s power crisis. Egyptian power lines, when they work, provided 25 megawatts -- just 6.25% of the amount necessary to power Gazoo for a full day.

However,
there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly...
according to the Israel Defense Forces, the Egyptian power lines have not been providing any power lately due to malfunctions, and Israeli power lines have become Gazoo’s sole power source. Gazoo has one power plant, but it stopped working in April after Hamas ran out of fuel and refused to purchase more from the PA over what it said were unfairly high taxes.

On Monday the Egyptian power company, according to Paleostinian media reports, informed the Gazoo power company it was disconnecting its cables. It’s not clear whether it was for repairs.

#2 "reduced the money it gives for healthcare from $4 million to $500,000, leaving patients without medicine and equipment."

The other $3.5M monthly allocated as 'Health' now goes to 'Tunnel and Munitions Safety'.
