A Palestinian government official in Gaza warned on Friday that the only power plant will stop operating within 72 hours. Fuel runs out as the Kerem Shalom crossing in the southern Gaza Strip continues to be closed.

This came during a press conference held by the head of the government media office in Gaza, Salama Maarouf, at Al-Shifa Medical Complex.Maarouf called on the international community to shoulder its responsibilities towards what is happening in the Gaza Strip. Israel began its aggression on Gaza by assassinating 3 commanders of the Al-Quds Brigades at dawn last Tuesday.
