Gaza's only power plant may shut down soon

Gaza: The director of Gaza's only power plant says he'll have to shut it down in two to three days unless Israel resumes fuel shipments.

Israel halted supplies after Gaza militants attacked a fuel depot on the Gaza-Israel border last week and killed two Israeli workers.

The power plant's fuel reserves have been low in recent months, after Israel restricted fuel supplies in hopes of forcing militants to halt rocket attacks from Gaza.

Power plant director Rafiq Maliha said on Saturday he only has two to three days worth of fuel left to run the plant. The plant shut down once before, after Israeli halted fuel shipments for several days following a barrage of rocket attacks from Gaza.
