"I'm not able to work or even sit at home in times of the continued power outages, and I do not have the price of an electric generator, and I spend most times with my family on the roof." Al-Khalidi added.
He said: "We have heard beautiful words from the energy authority about the improvement of agenda, particularly in the evenings of Ramadan," explaining that this is not only for media and it is unfounded on the ground. "
Moreover, Haj Mohammed Ali, 55, a grocery, held the Energy Authority full responsibility for the worsening electricity situation in the Gaza Strip.
Haj Ali said: "I feel the presence of fraud in the distribution of hours of electricity to citizens."
Consequently, Ali called all officials in the Gaza Strip to take into consideration all patients and citizens, and do their best to alleviate their suffering, saying:" We know very well that the Gaza Strip is suffering from a crippling blockade and the government suffers from many crises, but what is the guilt of the citizens. " .
