The United Nations has said that Israel’s decision to cut off electricity to Gaza is “very concerning”, warning that civilians in the ravaged Palestinian territory will face dire consequences, AFP reports.
“With no electricity and with fuel being blocked, Gaza’s remaining water desalination plants, healthcare facilities, and bakeries are at risk of eventually shutting down, with dire consequences for civilians,” Seif Magango, spokesman for the UN human rights office, told AFP in an email.
