Israel Cuts Off Gaza’s Last Electricity Supply, Pushing 2.3 Million Toward Catastrophe

Israel has completely cut off electricity to Gaza, plunging 2.3 million people into darkness and accelerating an already catastrophic humanitarian crisis. With fuel and aid blockaded for over a week, hospitals are failing, water is running out, and starvation is being deliberately weaponized—all during Ramadan.

How the Blackout is Killing Gaza

🔴 Water Crisis – With no power, desalination plants can’t produce drinking water. The last operational plant is now running on generators, supplying only 2,500 cubic meters of water per day—a fraction of what’s needed for survival.

🔴 Hospitals in Freefall – ICUs, incubators, and life-saving equipment need electricity to function. Doctors warn that fuel for backup generators is nearly gone—and once that happens, patients will die.

🔴 No Food, No Aid – The UN and humanitarian groups have accused Israel of weaponizing starvation. Food prices are skyrocketing, bakeries are shutting down, and aid trucks remain blocked at the border.

🔴 Worsening Sanitation Crisis – With water pumps down, sewage is now flooding streets, spreading disease. The UN has already warned of an impending health catastrophe.

Weaponizing Basic Needs

Israeli officials, including far-right minister Itamar Ben Gvir, have openly celebrated the blackout and called for even harsher measures—including bombing fuel depots and shutting down all generators.

Meanwhile, the UN has condemned Israel’s actions, warning that denying civilians access to electricity, water, and food could amount to a war crime. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has already cited starvation as a method of warfare in its ongoing investigation into Israeli leaders.

But Israel isn’t stopping. As it continues to squeeze Gaza’s population, Palestinians face starvation, disease, and death—not as collateral damage, but as a deliberate policy.

A Complete Blackout: What This Means for Gaza

🔴 No Clean Water – Gaza’s last operating desalination plant is barely functional, leaving millions with no drinking water.

🔴 Hospitals in Crisis – Life-saving machines need power. With only backup generators left, doctors warn they could run out of fuel within days.

🔴 Aid Blockade Continues – Israel has already halted food and medicine from entering Gaza, worsening the man-made famine.

“Collective Punishment” Condemned by Experts

🛑 The UN warns Israel’s blockade could amount to collective punishment.
🛑 The International Criminal Court (ICC) is investigating Israel for using starvation as a weapon of war.
🛑 Human rights groups demand immediate action—but Western governments continue funding and arming Israel.

Despite global outcry, Israel’s Energy Minister Eli Cohen justified the blackout, claiming it would help secure the release of hostages. Far-right Israeli officials are now calling for the total destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Palestinians are left to survive with no power, no aid, and no escape.
