The UN has shared data from the Gaza Electricity Distribution Company (GEDCO) revealing that the besieged enclave has had no electricity since October 11.

The data shows that Israeli electricity supply to Gaza ceased on October 8 and that the Gaza power plant stopped supplying power on October 11.

However, it highlighted that even before the electricity was cut off, Gaza only average 13.3 hours of electricity per day January to September 2023.

“For the past decade, the Gaza Strip has suffered from a chronic electricity deficit, which undermined already fragile living conditions,” the UN said.
