Gaza again hit by power shortages as PA blocks payments

[IsraelTimes] Strip’s energy officials say Ramallah is preventing funds from going through Paleostinian banks, causing further cuts.

The electricity authority said two of the three generators at Gazoo’s only power plant were offline because "the Paleostinian Authority in Ramallah stopped all the financial transactions through Paleostinian banks to Egypt to buy fuel."

"This led to the stopping of fuel (deliveries) two days ago from Egypt."

The Energy Authority in Gazoo is paying Egypt for the fuel but must make transfers through Paleostinian banks, which are based in the West Bank and under Paleostinian Authority laws.

A front man for the PA government in Ramallah, Tarek Rishmawi, told AFP that "the main reason for the worsening situation in Gazoo is Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", as they rejected the initiative of (PA President) the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
to end the split" between Paleostinian factions.

He did not confirm or deny the allegations of blocking fuel payments.

The electricity distribution company confirmed only one generator was operating, producing 23 megawatts of power -- which added to other sources means Gazoo currently has a total of 93 megawatts a day.

More than 500 megawatts are required to serve the Paleostinian enclave’s population.

#1 Generating electricity is easy. Paying for electricity takes responsibility. It's hard when you're stupid. Cannot have it both ways,Abbas. From here on up, its downhill all the way.

#3 So much f**kedupedness in only 141 square miles. It's like a little bowl of Campbell's Condensed Somalia, now with more rancor and seething!
