A power generator plant has been targeted in the Bureij area of central Gaza. This plant hosts four major generators used to supply electricity in Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah, southern Gaza.

Because of the intensity of the Israeli strikes, the plant caught on fire, severely damaging all four generators and the physical infrastructure around it.

This will cause further suffering for Palestinians after the war ends. It will make it even more difficult to get electricity, exacerbating the misery and unbearable living conditions across the Gaza Strip.
