The electricity crisis in the Gaza Strip is no longer just a service shortage; it has become a factor that exacerbates the hardships of daily life, especially with the arrival of summer and rising temperatures.
Families already exhausted by war find themselves trapped between tents that swelter during the day and camps plunged into darkness at night, while access to electricity has become a luxury beyond the reach of most residents.
Over the past few months, residents have tried to find alternatives to compensate for the lack of electricity, but these alternatives have quickly proven unaffordable.
Private generators require expensive fuel, while solar energy systems demand sums far exceeding the means of most families who have lost their sources of income.
The effects of the crisis are not limited to homes; they extend to professionals who rely on electricity for their daily work.
